Learning outcomes
The course focuses on the perception of textile creation as an important part of cultural heritage, as an artifact of material culture, testifying to the general history of mankind, the history of fine arts and architecture. The course introduces both textile materials and traditional technologies (chronology and typology of fiber processing, types of textiles, types of textile weaves, the development of lacemaking, etc.), as well as forms of their use. Clothing and home textiles are presented as symbols of the social status of the individual, a reflection of the period lifestyle. Completion of the whole cycle, in which the development of textile creation is seen from a chronological point of view, allows students a basic orientation in the functional, morphological and aesthetic qualities of textiles from prehistory to the emergence of modern clothing. The summer semester is devoted to the development of textiles and clothing from the Middle Ages to modern times. The end of the semester is devoted to the presentation of seminar papers based on the analysis of the genesis and morphology of the selected clothing element, the characteristics of the clothing style or the selected period.
