Özet:

In design-based disciplines, the basic design lesson generally covers theories of design elements-principles and Gestalt perception rules, then followed by two and three-dimensional abstract designs made by the students. All these studies play an important role in the development of visual language and expression. Particularly in the visualization of the imagination and in the process of transferring the design, the students are fed from these teachings and direct their design decisions. For this reason, the "Basic Design" course is of great importance for the students to develop a formal and aesthetic perspective. However, the transformation of these abstract thoughts into a concrete product is often not tested in the context of the course. In the scope of this study; the teachings that students gained from the   "Basic Design" course, which is given in the first semester in the Department of Interior Design at Karadeniz Technical University, was tested with a workshop. As method of the study, the functional characteristics of the furniture designed by the students and the basic design elements-principles and Gestalt perception rules used by the students were entered into the SPSS program and the obtained data were evaluated in accordance with the objectives of the study.
