Course Description
Aesthetic Principles and Elements is a course in creative thinking through self-awareness and psychological alignment, which foster creative, original ideas centred on the discrete elements of design and the principles, which are manipulated to create compositions that influence viewers in predictable ways. From a backdrop of nature's structures, societal references on art and design from leading thinkers in creativity and the study of aesthetic principles, abstract imagery is used to guide learners into unique visual solutions with universal meaning. Colour studies lead to a physical understanding of the visible light spectrum and its relationship to direct and reflected light sources as applied in practical design applications.
