SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives: It is aimed for the graduate student to recognize the basic composition elements and make two and three dimensional concrete or abstract arrangements with different materials.
Course Content: To demonstrate theoretically and practically basic design concepts and elements such as point, line, form, rhythm, balance, texture, color, shape-ground relationship, framing, symmetry-asymmetry, negative-positive.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:
Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)
  1) Understands the design elements / principles.
  2) Distinguish natural and artificial resources.
  3) Recognizes the materials that can be used in design and applies the techniques.
  4) Experiences to create a composition.
  5) Identifies the design problem and transfers appropriate data for its solution.
Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)
  1) Producing interactive studies and develops analytical thinking skills.
  2) Understands the basic concepts of design and the basic design perception practically.
Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)
  1) To have creative and original thinking ability and reflect this to applications.
  2) Acquires the ability to convey what she designs using different tools and materials
  3) Understands the concept of the qualities of color, the ability to use the basic color scheme and harmony, and the differences between paint and light colors.
