MODERN ARTISTIC COLLAGE TECHNIQUES IN THE ART EDUCATION OF FUTURE ARCHITECTS

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to trace the evolution of collage in the art of the 20th and 21st centuries, determine its role in the formation of contemporary artistic language, and outline the possibilities for applying this technique in architectural education. The research methodology is based on the application of art history methods of formal analysis and iconological interpretation; general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis and the historical method are used as auxiliary methods. 0000Collage is considered an important phenomenon in the development of fine arts in the 20th and 21st centuries. The main stages of the development of this method are highlighted – from avant-garde experiments to postmodern practices. Scientific novelty. In analyzing the role of collage in Ukrainian art, particularly in the work of Anatol Petrytsky, Vasyl Yermylov, and Serhii Sviatchenko, the criteria that can shape the qualities of architectural thinking and thus be fundamental in the professional training of future architects were taken into account. Conclusions. A. Petrytsky’s spatial motifs in his sketches of stage decorations were analyzed, in particular the role of rhythmic structures, elements of different scales, and combinations of textures. This analysis allowed us to reveal the similarity between collage and constructivism in a new way. An analysis of V. Yermilov’s diptych “On the Beach” (1935) showed that his collage approach structures and objectifies the elements of the visual language of the avant-garde, as described in particular in the theoretical works and artistic experiments of the Bauhaus school artists. The artist creates a spatial background on which the play of formal elements unfolds. We conclude that Yermilov used Dadaist stylistics not only for artistic effect, but also to mask a certain message. In this way, collage becomes a form of alternative speech, reflecting the real state of the artist and art in a totalitarian system. The collages and photo collages of artist and architect Serhii Sviatchenko are a striking example of the use of this technique in postmodern art in the context of non-standard solutions and interpretations of current events. This shows that collage is not only an artistic but also an analytical tool for the formation of visual thinking and compositional vision, which is important in the professional training of future architects, designers, and restorers.
