Course Description
This course enables students to understand the physical, optical, aesthetic, and semantic properties of color, as well as its interaction with form, space, and composition. Coloristics is a fundamental course that scientifically explains the functional and emotional role of color in art, design, architecture, fashion, and graphic communication, and teaches students how to manage color effectively in the creative process.
The course also emphasizes the role of color in composition, form, and spatial structure, developing students’ ability to achieve color balance, contrast, harmony, and proper use of palettes. Students explore the interaction of color with light, materials, and texture, and gain knowledge of various color systems and models (RGB, CMYK, HSB, etc.).
During the course, students study the relationships between colors, color harmony, contrasts, and the emotional impact of color. They analyze color wheels, primary and secondary colors, warm and cool tones, and light and dark values using a scientific approach. This knowledge enables students to apply color composition effectively in design projects, interior and fashion design, graphic and digital visual works, ensuring visual balance and aesthetically compelling results.
The course combines both theoretical and practical objectives. Students not only learn the fundamental principles of color theory but also experiment with various color combinations through practical assignments, creating harmonious and contrasting palettes, and developing skills to manage color balance in visual materials.
