Design Theory 1 is the first of two courses to define and investigate components of visual and spatial awareness. It focuses on an analysis of design elements and principles: space, line, mass, shape, texture, scale, proportion, balance, rhythm, emphasis, colour, harmony and variety. Colour theory, theorists, systems of classification, and colour perception and psychology will be investigated and analyzed as a significant portion of this course. Students will demonstrate awareness and sensitivity to design elements and principles through written assignments, an essay, independent research, journal reflections, class discussions, colour plate assignments and a final group project.
