| Short description: | The subject introduces the principles of design and organization of visual structures. It offers universal rules applicable in every type of project activity. It characterizes the elements, their characteristics, behavior, types of relationships and the possibility of mutual correlations. The methods conduct in the field of design, reaching solutions to the search and improvement of an idea. |
| Full description: | The presentation of the implementation - the mappings from mimetic representation to abstract;The principle of relativity in the composition: the interdependence of form, color, structure and light;The form - ways of visualization and modification;Narrative means in the composition- polarizations: applications and methods;The colour as a visual structure. Color Theory. The practice of composing color. Color, shape, light- and interdependence of perception;The ephemeral phenomena in compositions - phenomenon of light, shadow, smell and sound;Style, fashion, trend- concepts;Timeliness and timeless compositions -concept of classic and avant-garde;The concept of beauty, ugliness and kitsch - recognition of historical and contemporary;The mechanisms of perception: the perception of rule by Gestalt theory; The phenomena of unconventional practices in design practice;Basics of semiotics.

| Learning outcomes: | The student is familiar with the essence of the composition. The student has the knowledge in relation to the rules of composition and seperation of elements. He or she is able to define the attributes of compositional elements and determine the compositional dependence. Skills: The student can organize compositional arrangement, select the measures and identify the objective of compositional activity. He or she can predict the effect of compositional procedures in the field of endogenous and exogenous. He can apply the effect of composite actions using two- and three- dimensional scale. |
