Main description (English)

Since ancient times, people have used their minds and strength to survive in the harsh nature. As they move from place to place, they discover new ways to develop and improve. With the increasing demands, people learn to use limited resources effectively. Their creativity helps them to enhance their lives and homes. Initially, textiles serve for warmth and protection. Later, they become a means of artistic expression. In the 19th century, following military conflicts and the development of technologies, design and art undergo rapid changes. Textiles begin to be perceived as a full-fledged form of art – alongside painting and sculpture. Artists start using textiles to create new artistic forms. Today, textiles are present in sculptures, paintings, and other contemporary forms of art. Modern fibers and technologies enhance the significance of textiles in art. Textiles are increasingly being combined with other artistic styles. Keywords: textile, art, design, artistic styles
