Decorative techniques course

The decoration consists of those elements that serve to embellish. In the artistic and architectural field, an object of art or a building can be decorated. You can decorate something by painting it or by attaching elements to it. The Romans decorated their houses with mosaics (for example in Pompeii there are mosaics, murals or glimpses). Decoration is a very broad field, which includes the transformation, arrangement, restoration, repair of a human habitat and interior furniture (interior architecture). Decoration in the furniture sense can commonly consist of paintings or posters attached to the walls, furniture, knick-knacks such as vases or other objects. The decoration can also be applied to humans, both with elements of the clothes and directly on the body, with tattoos or piercings. There are many motifs that decorators use in their decoration techniques. For example, we recall the rosette, an ornamental motif consisting of a stylized flower, used a lot in ancient times in sculpted works, appeared in Mesopotamia and used in funerary steles in ancient Greece. It was adopted in Romanesque and Renaissance architecture and is also common in Central Asian art, then spread to India where it is used as a decorative motif in Greco-Buddhist art. The rosette takes its name from the natural botanical form of small roses, formed by leaves that open radially from the stem of a plant and visible even when the flower has withered.
