I Need to Know

This lesson was designed for your independent learning. It is here to help you
understand the principles of design and color harmony (TLE_HEDM7/8MT-0c-d-
2).. The scope of this lesson will provide you knowledge and skills in dressmaking.
The language used recognizes the diverse vocabulary level of students. The lesson
is arranged to follow the standard sequence of the course. But the order in which you
read them can be changed to correspond with the textbook you are now using.

After going through this module, you are expected to:

 Lesson Overview
Lesson Overview

Principles of Design

The principles of designs are concepts used to organize or arrange the structural
elements of design. It affects the expressive content, or the message of the work if
these principles are applied.

Principles

Balance - According to this principle, from the centered of the dress, design should
be identified on both sides may be achieved ways:

a. Symmetrically or the formal balance - can be described as having equal

"weight" on equal sides of a centrally placed like a see saw. This is an easy way
of balancing, but such balance lends monotony to the design.

7
b. Asymmetrically or the informal balance – When the structure decoration
and accessories are different both sides from the center of the design. In this
design attraction both sides is created by using different accessories.

c. Proportion - is the pleasing relationship of all parts of the object with one
another. Proportion refers to the relative size and scale of the various elements
in a design. The issue is the relationship between objects, or parts, of a whole.

8
Emphasis – every pleasing design has one part that is more interesting than any
other. This is the emphasis or the center of interest.

Rhythm – these are smooth movement repeated again and again. Rhythm is an
important principle of art. It is created by repeated use of the design. If
there is rhythm in a design, the eye would move easily from one part to the
other.

9
Rhythm can be created in Three Ways

a. Repetition of lines, colors, or accessories. Parallel lines are formed by the

use of seams, buttons, embroidery, lace, etc. which helps uninterrupted eye
movement.

Radiation. Rhythm can also be created by the radiated lines. These lines are
created by gathers Eyes can move easily from one part to the other on the small
lines created by gathers. Such lines can be seen in gathers on neckline, arm and
skirt.

10
Gradation. Rhythm can be created by gradual change of lines, shape or shade of
the color.

Harmony - means a relationship of different portion of a design. Harmony should

be achieved through judicious use of color, shape, and texture to give a feeling of
oneness.

11
Color Theory

The first thing you usually notice about clothes or anything is their color. Before you
start studying which colors look best together, you should learn the meaning of
color terms and the rules that apply to colors.

The Color Wheel

Primary Colors – the sources of all colors, even though there are
thousands and thousands of colors in the world, they are all made up of
these colors – red, blue and yellow.

Secondary Colors – are produced when mixing two equal amount of primary
colors. If you mix equal amount or yellow and blue you will have green, equal parts
of red and blue will have violet, and red and yellow you will have orange.
Look at the color wheel you will find these colors – orange, green and violet.

Intermediate Colors – are produced by mixing two equal amount of primary

and secondary colors. Example, if you mix equal parts of yellow (primary
color) and green (secondary color) you will have yellow-green. Noticed that
yellow-green is found between yellow and green on the color wheel.

12
The intermediate colors are;
Yellow + green = yellow-green Red + violet = red-violet
Blue + green = blue-green Red + orange = red-orange
Blue + violet = blue-violet Blue + orange = blue-orange

Pure Colors – are the primary, secondary and intermediate colors because
they have no white, black and gray in them. Pure colors are also called ―normal,
true and basic colors.

Tints – when pure colors are mixed with white, they are made lighter. Example,
when white is added to red you have pink. In other words pink is a tint of red. The
more white you add, the lighter the pink will be. Tints are also called pastels.

Shades – when pure colors are mixed with black, they are made darker.
Example, when black is added to red you have maroon, a shade of red. The more
black you add, the more darker you have.

Grayed colors – most colors we used in clothes are grayed colors rather than
bright, pure colors you see on the color wheel. Grayed colors are also referred to
as ―soft colors or ―”dull colors”. The more gray you add, the more duller the color
will be.

Neutrals – are white, black and gray. They look well with another and with all other
colors. The more grayed colors becomes, the more different colors it will harmonize
with.

Warm and Cool Colors

Cool colors – are green, blue-green, blue, blue-violet, violet. Blue is the coolest
color. They are adjacent to one another in the color wheel.

Warm colors – are red, red-orange, orange, yellow-orange, and orange. Red is
the warmest color. They are also adjacent in the color wheel.

13
Qualities of Colors

Hue – is the family group name of a color. It is the name of a color. Ones they are
combined differently and given new names.

Value – refers to the lightness or the tint or the darkness of the shade. The scale of
the value colors are from the very lightest tint to the very darkest of the shade.

Intensity – means the brightness or dullness of a color. When you refer to a color
as ”bright” or “very bright” or “dull” or “very dull” you are describing its
intensity. Example, green peppers are bright yellow-green, while olives are dull
yellow green.
Color Schemes

The beauty of any color scheme depends upon how well the colors harmonize. To
harmonize, colors must appear to belong together.

1. One-color harmony (monochromatic color) – the easiest color scheme to

follow is one that uses the same color in different values and intensity. An example
of a monochrome color scheme could include any color mixed with white, gray, or
black.

14
2. Adjacent color harmony – or analogous color harmony. Since they are near
each other on the color wheel, neighbor color harmony. Example, yellow-orange,
orange, and yellow green are next to each other on the color wheel; therefore, a
pleasing adjacent color harmony may be made from them.

3. Complementary Color Harmony – these are colors that are opposite in the
color wheel. Using these colors may be very pleasing.

a. Complementary colors – directly opposite in the color wheel. Example,

red and green, blue and orange, yellow and violet.

b. Split complementary colors – a variation of the complementary

color scheme. In addition to the base color, it uses the two colors
adjacent to its complement.

15
 c. Triad - A triadic color scheme uses colors that are evenly spaced around the
color wheel. Triadic color harmonies tend to be quite vibrant, even if you use pale
or unsaturated versions of your hues.
