Lecture Summary (8/27)

Elements of Design :
          point, line, shapes/forms, color, texture, value

Principles of Design :
         harmony, dissonance, rhythm, contrast, balance, scale, pattern

Gestalt Principles :
         closure, proximity, similarity, continuance

 The Whole :
         The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

During the lecture, we all split into groups. Each group was given an element of design in which we had to demonstrate that element using only sound. Our group had the element shape, so we decided to demonstrate it by creating a circle around the room and clapping in rhythm around clockwise to create a circle with sound. It was fairly amusing way to start off the first week of WASH and was actually fun to do. :)
