19	Objective of the Course:	Design elements (measure, form, color, texture, line), design principles (unity, sovereignty, balance, hierarchy, harmony, contrast, repetition), visual perception. Gestalt principles: proximity, similarity, shape-ground, visual illusion, space concept: space concept, geometry and outdoor arrangements in two and three dimensional studies will be explained. The aim of this course is to teach color information, pattern studies and shape ground relation.
