An ornament in a strip is a rhythmically repeating pattern located in a limited space in a strip. It is intended for decorating utensils, furniture, weapons, clothes, wallpaper, baguettes for paintings, decoration of printed materials and even as a tattoo.
Geometric stripe ornament
There are many areas in the visual arts. Along with realism, there are cubism, symbolism, abstraction, and the like. The ornament in the strip also has conditional units. It can be graphic and non-graphic, that is, geometric. Work skills in this field of fine art develop a sense of beauty, a sense of space, symmetry, understanding and using the rule of the "golden section".
The geometric ornament in the strip is made up of rectangles, triangles, circles, rhombuses, squares, lines, lines and their combinations. The first skills in drawing a pattern of geometric shapes can be started to be instilled in early childhood by the method of performing applications. First, the children are invited to repeat the ornament in the strip from the submitted sample. Gradually, children should be given more opportunities for creativity. Let them experiment and make ornaments on their own, based on their own taste and including imagination. Examples of which ornaments can be made using only the background and the same triangles are presented in this figure.
Floral ornament in a strip.
If specific objects taken from the real world, for example, the shapes of plants, humans or animals, houses or ships, are used in the motifs of the pattern, then such ornaments are classified as fine. Of course, reality in this
art form is not reproduced with accuracy. Images are simplified, stylized, typed, approaching geometrization. Fine ornaments, in turn, are divided into floral, floral, zoomorphic, anthropomorphic, subject and mixed. In addition to directly real objects, multidirectional lines, curls and fantasy decorations are woven into the pattern. Most often, mixed ornaments are presented, where branches and leaves, butterflies and birds are depicted.
Flower ornament type "kaleidoscope"
A variety of types of ornaments are used by artists to make carpet drawings. What is most surprising, geometry helps many artists in this difficult matter, even physics can be said. Once upon a time, a children's toy kaleidoscope was invented. Mirrors were located inside it, and fragments of colored glass poured at the bottom. When turning the “tube”, the fragments made up some kind of motive, which, repeated many times by the reflections of the mirrors, seemed to the beholder in a surprisingly unique fairy-tale light. Many compilers of ornaments work on this principle. Having folded the paper circle several times in such a way as to create a sector - the part limited by two radii and an arc, the artist depicts a motive on it. By copying it to all other sectors, you can get a real miracle! If you want to make an ornament in a strip, it is quite appropriate to use this circle as a repeating motive. Only it will be necessary to fill the resulting voids with a simple small ornamental motif.
