Colours and Shapes

It is very important for us to develop the ability not just to identify (construct) objects according to their shapes, but also to be able to deconstruct objects into their composite shapes, so developing the ability to mentally determine the true structure of any given object(s) according to the unique arrangement of specified shapes made available for exploration. Together with the perceptual functions of colour, one can easily recognize/generate object(s) with respect to unique shape arrangements and colours being reflected.

The learning objective for this module is to enhance each student’s ability to identify, and finely discriminate and categorise a variety of objects and events on the basis of colour and shape characteristics, and some of the relevant symbolic learning systems used to ascribe their meaning(s). At the same time, we aim to increase students’ geometric shape and colour/hue experiential vocabulary list, whilst also enhancing their sensitivities towards multiple orientations, and to the significance of interpreting multiple colour and shape representational combinations in different ways, according to different circumstances of their presentation.
