  • Color phenomena - The interactions of color, how light and shadow affect the perception of color and the impact of color on space and shape.
  • Pattern formation - Pattern formation through practical exploration in two- and three-dimensional form. Learn how new patterns are formed through repetitive sequences, and how color affects pattern formation.
  • Visualization - Axonometric drawing and color drawing are used as survey tools to three-dimensional form. Digital and analogue collage techniques are used to further develop models in spatial context
  • Painting technique - Skills exercises with practical colour mixing and painting techniques.
  • Gestalt - Aesthetic interaction between form, composition and use of colour in two- and three-dimensional form ratios

Learning outcome

Learning outcomes

The student must have acquired basic knowledge and understanding in the subject area colour, composition in two- and three-dimensional form and drawing. By practicing skills through practical work coupled with theory, students must put knowledge in context with architectural issues. The student must have developed a good understanding of concepts, and be able to express ideas precisely about aesthetic issues by using professional terms.

Syllabus: Compendium and restricted literature from the faculty and institute library.

Learning methods and activities

Learning forms and activities

Didactic Methods - Through practical exploration, the basis for technical, theoretical and intuitive learning is formed.

Subtasks in the drawing room - Knowledge and skills are acquired through practical subtasks. The answers are solved both individually and in groups. Assignments in the spring semester are based on knowledge from the autumn semester based on students' professional competence.

Joint reviews in the drawing room or in the auditorium.

Lectures in the auditorium - All assignments are introduced through academic context to the perspective of architecture, design and art.

Guidance - Individual guidance in the drawing room together with a team of teachers. NB! Attendance in the hall is important.

Joint discussion - the subject ends with an academic discussion where transfer to the architectural context is at the centre

Further on evaluation

Grades are based on assessment of a portfolio and oral presentation. A combined PDF-file based on requirements from assignment texts, where written reflections, drawings, photos / scans of collages and other work are set up according to a suggested template posted on Blackboard. In addition to digital submission, physical work done in the autumn and spring must be submitted, as well as a printed version of the pdf file. It is important that the work is well documented, has a sufficiently high resolution and is digitally edited where necessary. For certain assignments, it is pointed out that a selective selection of drawings is to be completed within a given period.

In the case of failure and re-take exam, the candidate will be asked to improve or redo the parts of the portfolio delivery that were not sufficient.
