Module 2: Elements of Design (Core)
Outcome
Examine the elements of design.
Indicators
(a) Differentiate between the elements and principles of design.
(b)

Explore the characteristics of the common elements of design including:

  • line;
  • form;
  • space;
  • texture;
  • light;
  • colour; and,
  • pattern.
(c) Describe various effects that can be achieved by manipulating line.
(d) Research the effect of form and how it can be used efficiently in interior design.
(e) Explore how space can be manipulated to create specific feelings.
(f) Compare how visual and tactile textures can be applied to design and decorating.
(g) Describe the role of lighting such as ambient, task, accent and natural, in design and decorating.
(h) Explore how colour can be used to impact people’s moods, feelings and behaviours.
(i) Demonstrate how colour systems (e.g., colour wheel) show relationships between colours.
(j) Differentiate among the basic attributes of colour (e.g., hue, value, intensity).
(k)

Explain the characteristics of the six standard colour scheme harmonies:

  • analogous;
  • monochromatic;
  • complementary;
  • split complementary;
  • triadic; and,
  • tetrad.
(l) Examine how different types of patterns (e.g., naturalistic, organic, geometric, abstract, metamorphic) can be used in design and decorating.
(m) Predict how changing one or more elements of design can impact other elements in a specific space.
