THE TECHNIQUES FOR CREATING IMAGES OF PRINT PATTERNS IN THE PROCESS OF STUDYING THE DEVELOPMENT OF ARTISTIC TASTES OF STUDENTS-PAINTERS BY MEANS OF TEXTILE GRAPHICS

Abstract

The character of textile images is closely linked with the specifics of the production technology and this largely determines some of the techniques and types of graphic organization. The textile graphics is continuously enriched with new techniques. Some of them were borrowed from easel graphic art, decorative art, design. This article describes some techniques used to create the images of print patterns in the process of studying the development of artistic taste of art students by means of textile graphics. The scenic effect may be obtained by spatial (additive) mixing of colors. This technique is reflected in the paintings of artists-pointillists. The picturesque effect of their works is explained by using different color strokes (mostly of pure hues), which created the effect of vibration of colors. However, the palette of painters was unlimited, and students-painters have usually a very limited number of colors. To create drawings of pointillistic nature, it is necessary to select carefully 3 - 4 saturated colors (but not additive ones to avoid achromatic effect). Patterns may be developed by dots, strokes, touches. The color change may be influenced not only by the neighboring tones, but also by the size, shape of spots and the distance between them. The main feature of drawings executed in pointillist technique is the general leading color shade, i.e. the prevalence of certain colors or combination of colors. The background color is not of less importance, because it actively effects the color combinations. As it can be seen, the techniques for creating image print patterns, textile compositions may be made by a variety of methods: graphical, pictorial, with a complex interconnection of their combinations. But with all originality of the artistic idea, clarity and conciseness of graphic techniques, careful reasoning of the selection of methods of expression will always enhance the development of artistic taste of art students in creating the images of print patterns.
