Course Objective

The studies about visual perception show that we don t sense the world and the images as they are but we form them. We are not only a passive camera, even an instantaneous photo that we choose plays a role in our active interpretation of the world. In this lesson it is aimed to re-shape all that we see starting from our daily life to visual images in visual communication design and artworks.
