Everyday Aesthetics
Eye For Design is a course in everyday aesthetics. Its lessons go beyond mere “decorating” or “picking a wardrobe” and into the basics of perception, beauty, and the ecology of environments. Viewers learn that developing an “eye for design” involves understanding a few basics of perception.
Viewers meet an animated line who boasts he “has the power to control your eyeballs.” They learn that lines lead the eye and influence feelings. They see that horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines each send differing messages. They learn that a careful selection of lines and shapes influences feelings.
Viewers learn:
• How to create visual rhythm.
• How to use patterns and repeating motifs in a design.
• How to create designs that provide focal points that serve to reward the eye.
• The message of angles and curves and how to balance the two.
• How basic shapes (squares, circles, triangles) send differing emotional messages.
• How to achieve visual balance and the difference between symmetry and informal balance.
• The importance of scale, proportion, and the Golden Mean.

Creating Color Harmony
Using Color teaches the basics of creating color harmony and color schemes for interiors, wardrobes, and wherever color matters. Color in Everyday Life is about the psychology and theory of color, while this program is a practical “how to” program that shows how to use color to shape environments.
Viewers learn how to put colors together to create beauty and comfort. They will learn about complementary colors, tints, shades, tones, pastels, hue, value, intensity, primary and secondary colors.
Viewers learn to use a color wheel to create the three most common color schemes -- monochromatic, related, and complementary. They see examples of each and learn the basics of putting them to work.
Concepts taught in the program:
• Law of unequal areas
• Advancing and receding colors
• Cool and warm colors
• Complementary and related colors
• Primary and secondary colors
• The importance of color values in design
• The value of neutrals
• The role of proportion in color choices
• The idea of “visual weight”
• The effect of mixing white/black/gray with pure colors.
What this program teaches about color harmony can be used for interiors, for fashion, for graphic design, for marketing, or just to understand a bit more of the “why” of beauty.
