Abstract:

The entocultural heritage of the peoples of the world inspires designers to create works of industrial and consumer use. Clothing designers actively use elements of ethnic costume when creating collections of modern clothing. The purpose of the article is to review the areas of work of designers on the use of ethnocultural heritage in the development of author’s collections of modern clothing. As a result of the analysis of the creativity of the leading world and Ukrainian designers of clothes it is revealed that the use of ethnic heritage is relevant in creating collections of modern clothing

Abstract:

This thesis explores the way in which interior decorating developed as a practice during the interwar period in Britain and seeks to address broader contexts of gender, class, taste and styles. While traditional design histories have tracked the development of the interior design model through a direct sequence of movements and ideologies through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this thesis addresses issues which have been problematic within the context of art and design history. It acknowledges the more linear dimension of the original strand and seeks to offer a complementary appraisa

The purpose of this study was to examine the masking preferences of the spider crab, Notomithrax ursus.

The preference of the crabs was further examined through the use of choice and background change experiments in the laboratory.

The core themes in Thai art have traditionally been didactic Buddhist ethical works and popular folkloric beliefs. Both are permeated with a cosmology and worldview that is supernatural but which is pervaded with ethical implications for people’s daily lives. Buddhist art aims to encourage selfless acts for the good of others, including other individuals, society, the country and the natural world. Such abstract themes have been rendered accessible to ordinary people by means of fantastical creatures and supernatural myths that insinuate moral values and demonstrate a coherent Theravada worldv

Abstract:

The Late Bronze Age in Western Asia and Egypt witnessed an explosion in the production of so-called 'vitreous materials', in particular the earliest glass. From its outset, this material appeared in an enormous variety of colours and colour combinations, the manufacture of which demanded a high degree of technological know-how. The unique properties of glass also rapidly came to the fore, most notably the potential of glass to be worked while hot. Archaeometric research into early Egyptian glass has tended to focus on chemical and isotopic analysis as a means to assign provenance to its raw in

This thesis identifies these developments, defines the characteristics indicative of each design, and contextualises their creation within Whistler’s larger body of work. First-hand examinations of over a hundred frames, in both the United Kingdom and the United States, resulted in challenging the generic understanding that a ‘Whistler frame’ is characterised only by reeded ornamentation.

Abstract:

This study provides an alternative framework for the interpretation of the painted and plain Athenian vase during the Late Archaic and Classical period. The primary focus is on the way in which the vase came to interact with society. As a commodity with a practical use, the vase was permitted to circulate in social spaces in Athens. As a consequence of this contact, the accumulated meaning became more symbolic than practical. For instance, due to its use within the domestic sphere, the vase became a symbol of domesticity. This development of symbolism involves a transformation in the perceptio

The role of women artists within this regional phenomenon has been even further neglected.

This thesis seeks to re-establish the significance of choir stalls in Venice and northern Italy and seeks to place stalls in their artistic, liturgical and spatial context. Although now situated in remote locations in the church, stalls were once highly prized items of furniture and considered to be praiseworthy artistic structures in their own right. As the location for religious ritual, the elevated status of the choir area was reflected in the detailed and sophisticated design of its wooden furniture. Through an analysis of visual and documentary material, stalls will be brought to the fore

AD 600-1100). Ornament of many kinds was the dominant mode in Insular art, however, key pattern has remained the least studied and most misunderstood.

A formulation process for CaCO3 spheres (D50 of 5.1 μm) for use as a functional filler in decorative paints was optimised. This increased the yield of CaCO3 spheres 20-fold and made the process less hazardous, with organic oils, namely rapeseed oil, being used successfully as a replacement for toluene. The CaCO3 spheres contained a multitude of < 250 nm nanovoids, with some spheres containing a core void > 800 nm. These pores formed because the crystals nucleated at the interface of emulsion droplets, resulting in CaCO3 spheres (2.42 g cm-3; 2,420 kg m-3) composed of calcite and vaterite, with

This thesis surveys the ninth-century metallic threads decorating silks discovered at Famen temple in Shaanxi province, China. In this research, metallic threads decorating Famen silks have been studied and documented in detail in order to understand how they were produced and how they were applied. Samples of metallic threads were selected and optical microscope and SEM/EDS were used to determine their morphology and composition. Problems regarding the current terminology used to describe metallic threads are briefly considered, and a systematic renaming of different types of metallic threads

Abstract:

Islamic architecture is arguably one of the greatest manifestations of Islamic visual culture. One of the defining aspects of the unique, aesthetic richness of traditional Islamic architecture has been the application of ceramic ornamentation or embellishment. There is a growing concern, however, that this legacy is being eroded. The diminishing identity of Islamic visual culture is particularly evident through current architectural developments occurring in the Arab states. The building revolution in the Gulf countries has dramatically increased momentum since the onset of the ‗oil economy‘,
