Specificity of Tapestry Composition (based on the decorative composition of urban landscapes)С.
For many years the authors have been engaged in the pedagogical activity, working in the field of training artists - teachers; at the same time, they are involved in the sphere of interior design, creating tapestries and other works of art for interiors. They have gained a rich pedagogical and creative experience, confirmed their status as permanent participants of numerous professional art exhibitions at different levels. Unlike other art courses, composition does not have a clearly developed methodology, especially in arts and crafts. What matters in this form of art is material: a rich palette of yarn colors, velvety, which contributes to creation of effective textures and soft transitions. In the hands of a beginner all this can lead to overshadowing a graphic and compositional part, and can result into individual errors, i.e. haste in transformation of the sketch into the material, ignorance of the existing rules of composition while rendering proportional relationships of individual parts and masses, or violation of the equilibrium principles, etc. Any compositional flaws committed in cardboard, in the finished work become obvious, but they can no longer be corrected due to the technological features of the material. Therefore, the authors consider composition as the tapestry specificity and try to draw attention of young artists to this problem.
