The lesson evolves around the idea of repetition as applied in visual culture and in design culture in particular.
The repetition of a drawing theme is realized within the limitations of a given layout in order to create a realistic environment which has to be presented as a visually succinct and seamless whole. The pictorial principals that govern visual composition and visual meaning-making and the subsequent ways to apply them are constantly under discussion in class meetings, lectures and in each personal project.
The production of 2D decorative elements becomes a pathway for the understanding of composition principles such as pattern, color, texture and shape as manifestations of culture. The students learn how to juxtapose and combine visual and cultural qualities towards the same end.
Critical discussion about the visual elements, their place in history and culture and the ways these are presented in artworks and design projects is strongly encouraged and cultivated.
Observation of the natural world and adaptation of artistic traditions as design methods become a means to translate the visual elements to the appointed environment.
As the course progresses, the students understand the distance that lies between the birth of a visual idea as a key discerning theme to its realization as a pattern design drawing.
During the final application of the designed visual theme in various media and forms in order to support that same idea as the visual principal that shapes a given space the prerequisites for the execution, presentation and the fruitful advancement of a project to successful completion come forth.
