In his opening remarks, Freeman will be relating the importance of visual design to visual communication and expression. He will make a comparison between visual design and linguistic design (the design of languages) and follow this with an illustrated discussion of the two major contrasts that light produces- tone (brightness) and colour (hue) and how these enable all visual artists to see, create, and work with the major building blocks of two-dimensional visual design: line, shape, texture, and perspective. After examining these in depth, Freeman will illustrate and discuss the major visual principles for arranging them in picture space. (Except in passing, Freeman will not be dealing with the hardware and software of digital or film photography.)   visit Meeting House map Note:  Please provide your E-MAIL ADDRESS when you purchase tickets so we may keep you informed of additional 'happenings', programmes, events or changes that may take place during the Freeman Patterson 75th Birthday celebrations  -  Thank-you.
