The nature of beauty is one of the most enduring and controversial themes in Western philosophy. The classical notion of beauty is that it consists of an arrangement of integral parts into a coherent whole based on principles such as proportion, scale, balance, harmony, emphasis, rhythm, and variety. But have you ever considered the role that beauty plays in life? Not vanity, but authentic beauty? To what degree does the appearance of our environment influence our behavior and shape our experience. Can aesthetics be combined with functionality in order to reduce stress and assist us in living well?
This seminar explores the nuances of authentic beauty including how it can be recognized and communicated through a designer’s vision and creativity so it can, in turn, be experienced by others. Sensitize your inner camera and become keenly aware of the items that surround us in our daily lives such as the texture and pattern of fabrics, or the grain and luster of wood, or the veins and sparkle in the stone on a building’s facade.
Boost your ability to recognize craftsmanship and products that are forged with passion and commitment. Hone your talent to appreciate and promote authentic beauty as an emerging interior designer.
