Introduction
In this work, I distinguish between the concept of "creativity" and "artistic creativity". I consider this work relevant, since at present these two concepts have the same meaning and are often equated to each other, although in fact they have a huge difference.
In order to understand what artistic creativity is, let's find out what creativity is in general. To do this, I turned to the Internet encyclopedia "Wikipedia".
"Creation in a general sense - a process of human activity that creates qualitatively new material and spiritual values or the result of creating a subjectively new.
The main criterion that distinguishes creativity from manufacturing (production) is the uniqueness of its result. The result of creativity cannot be directly deduced from the initial conditions. No one, except perhaps the author, can get exactly the same result if the same initial situation is created for him. Thus, in the process of creativity, the author puts into the material some possibilities that are not reducible to labor operations or a logical conclusion, expresses some aspects of his personality in the final result. It is this fact that gives the products of creativity an additional value in comparison with the products of production.
Creativity is an activity that generates something qualitatively new, something that has never existed before.”
Artistic creativity is one of the types of creativity.
Types and functions of creativity.

Thus, it can be concluded that artistic creativity- this is a kind of creativity, the result of which is the creation of a work of art, i.e. a specific reflection of objective reality in the form of artistic images.
Artistic creativity is carried out through the creative process, which is a set of stages in the work of the artist to translate a certain ideological and figurative design into a finished work of art. For this, certain factors of creative activity are distinguished, such as abilities.
G.L. Yermash refers to abilities labor, will, inspiration, feelings, memory, thinking, intuition, imagination, fantasy, talent, etc.
Artistic creativity begins with a heightened attention to the phenomena of the world and involves "rare impressions", the ability to keep them in memory and comprehend. An important psychological factor in artistic creativity is memory. For an artist, it is not mirrored, selective and has a creative character. The creative process is unthinkable without imagination, which allows you to creatively reproduce a chain of ideas and impressions stored in memory. Artistic creativity involves consciousness and subconsciousness, reason and intuition. At the same time, subconscious processes play a special role here. Artists themselves pay attention to the importance of intuition in creativity.
Thus, the unconscious and the conscious, intuition and reason, natural gift and acquired skill interact in the creative process. W. Schiller wrote: "The unconscious in conjunction with the mind makes a poet-artist."
The creative process is especially fruitful when the artist is in a state of inspiration.
This is a specific creative-psychological state of clarity of thought, the intensity of its work, richness and speed of associations, deep insight into the essence of life's problems, powerful
"ejection" of life and artistic experience accumulated in the subconscious and its direct inclusion in creativity. In a state of inspiration, an optimal combination of intuitive and conscious principles is achieved in the creative process.
Creative activity is the main component of culture, its essence.
Culture and creativity are closely interconnected, moreover, interdependent.
It is unthinkable to talk about culture without creativity, since it is the further development of culture (spiritual and material). Creativity is possible only on the basis of continuity in the development of culture. The subject of creativity can realize its task only by interacting with the spiritual experience of mankind, with the historical experience of civilization. Creativity as a necessary condition includes the habituation of its subject into culture, the actualization of some results of people's past activities.
Everyone knows the human desire for self-knowledge.
It is known that the most complete disclosure of a person's abilities is possible only in socially significant activities. Moreover, it is important that the implementation of this activity is determined not only from the outside (by society), but also by the internal need of the individual himself. In this case, the activity of the individual becomes self-activity, and the realization of his abilities in this activity acquires the character of self-realization. The need, the desire for self-realization is a generic human need. The peculiarity of the need for self-realization lies in the fact that satisfying it in single acts of activity (for example, writing a novel, creating a work of art), a person can never fully satisfy it.
Satisfying the basic need for self-realization in various activities, a person pursues his life goals, finds his place in the system of social relations and relations.
“Flaubert believes that the highest achievement of art is not to cause laughter or tears, passion or rage, but to awaken a dream, as nature itself does.».
Conclusion
As a result of the work done, we can conclude that creativity is a generalized concept, and artistic creativity is only one of its types.

Creation- the process of human activity that creates qualitatively new material and spiritual values or the result of creating a subjectively new. The main criterion that distinguishes creativity from manufacturing (production) is the uniqueness of its result. The result of creativity cannot be directly deduced from the initial conditions. No one, except perhaps the author, can get exactly the same result if the same initial situation is created for him. Thus, in the process of creativity, the author puts into the material some possibilities that are not reducible to labor operations or a logical conclusion, expresses some aspects of his personality in the final result. It is this fact that gives the products of creativity an additional value in comparison with the products of production.
Creativity is an activity that generates something qualitatively new, something that has never existed before. Creativity is the creation of something new, valuable not only for this person, but also for others.
Vitaly Tepikin, a researcher of the creative factor of a person and the phenomenon of the intelligentsia, singles out artistic, scientific, technical, sports-tactical, as well as military-tactical creativity as independent types.S. L. Rubinstein for the first time correctly pointed out the characteristic features of inventive creativity: “The specificity of an invention, which distinguishes it from other forms of creative intellectual activity, is that it must create a thing, a real object, a mechanism or a technique that solves a certain problem. This determines the originality of the creative work of the inventor: the inventor must introduce something new into the context of reality, into the real course of some kind of activity. This is something essentially different than solving a theoretical problem in which a limited number of abstractly distinguished conditions must be taken into account. At the same time, reality is historically mediated by human activity, technology: it embodies the historical development of scientific thought. Therefore, in the process of invention, it is necessary to proceed from the context of reality into which something new must be introduced, and take into account the corresponding context. This determines the general direction and the specific character of the various links in the invention process.
Creativity(from English. create- create, english creative- creative, creative) - the creative abilities of an individual, characterized by a willingness to create fundamentally new ideas that deviate from traditional or accepted patterns and are included in the structure of giftedness as an independent factor, as well as the ability to solve problems that arise within static systems. According to the authoritative American psychologist Abraham Maslow, this is a creative direction that is innate in everyone, but lost by the majority under the influence of the environment.
At the everyday level, creativity manifests itself as ingenuity - the ability to achieve a goal, find a way out of a seemingly hopeless situation using the environment, objects and circumstances in an unusual way. Shire is a non-trivial and ingenious solution to the problem. And, as a rule, meager and non-specialized tools or resources, if material. And a bold, non-standard, what is called a non-stamped approach to solving a problem or meeting a need located in an intangible plane.
Criteria for creativity:
By Torrance
The description of the sequence of stages (stages) is best known today, which was given by the Englishman Graham Wallace in 1926. He identified four stages of creative thinking:
However, this description is not original and goes back to the classic report of A. Poincaré in 1908.
Henri Poincare, in his report to the Psychological Society in Paris (in 1908), described the process of making several mathematical discoveries by him and identified the stages of this creative process, which were subsequently distinguished by many psychologists.
2. This is followed by a more or less long period during which the person does not think about the problem that has not yet been solved, is distracted from it. At this time, Poincaré believes, unconscious work on the task takes place. 3. And finally, there comes a moment when suddenly, without immediately preceding reflections on the problem, in a random situation that has nothing to do with the problem, the key to the solution appears in the mind.“For two weeks I tried to prove that there could be no function analogous to the one that I later called automorphic. I was, however, quite wrong; every day I sat down at my desk, spent an hour or two at it, exploring a large number of combinations, and did not come to any result.
In contrast to the usual reports of this kind, Poincaré describes here not only the moment of the appearance of a solution in consciousness, but also the work of the unconscious that immediately preceded it, as if miraculously becoming visible; Jacques Hadamard, referring to this description, points to its complete exclusivity: "I have never experienced this wonderful feeling and I have never heard that anyone but him [Poincaré] experienced it." 4. After that, when the key idea for the solution is already known, the solution is completed, verified, and developed.“One evening, contrary to my habit, I drank black coffee; I couldn't sleep; ideas crowded together, I felt them collide until two of them came together to form a stable combination.
“By morning I established the existence of one class of these functions, which corresponds to the hypergeometric series; I had only to record the results, which took only a few hours. I wanted to represent these functions as a ratio of two series, and this idea was completely conscious and deliberate; I was guided by the analogy with elliptic functions. I asked myself what properties these series should have, if they exist, and I managed without difficulty to construct these series, which I called theta-automorphic.
Theorizing, Poincare depicts the creative process (by the example of mathematical creativity) as a sequence of two stages: 1) combining particles - elements of knowledge and 2) the subsequent selection of useful combinations.
Poincaré notes that the combination occurs outside of consciousness - ready-made "really useful combinations and some others that have signs of useful ones, which he [the inventor] will then discard, appear in consciousness." Questions arise: what kind of particles are involved in the unconscious combination and how does the combination occur; how the "filter" works and what are these signs by which it selects some combinations, passing them into consciousness. Poincaré gives the following answer.
The initial conscious work on the problem actualizes, "sets in motion" those elements of future combinations that are relevant to the problem being solved. Then, unless, of course, the problem is solved immediately, there comes a period of unconscious work on the problem. While the conscious mind is busy with other things, in the subconscious, the particles that have received a push continue their dance, colliding and forming various combinations. Which of these combinations enter consciousness? These are the combinations "of the most beautiful, that is, those which most affect that special sense of mathematical beauty known to all mathematicians and inaccessible to the profane to such an extent that they are often inclined to laugh at it." So, the most "mathematical beautiful" combinations are selected and penetrate into consciousness. But what are the characteristics of these beautiful mathematical combinations? “These are those whose elements are harmoniously arranged in such a way that the mind can effortlessly embrace them entirely, guessing the details. This harmony is at the same time the satisfaction of our aesthetic senses and a help for the mind, it supports it and guides it. This harmony gives us the opportunity to anticipate the mathematical law. “Thus, this special aesthetic sense plays the role of a sieve, and this explains why one who is deprived of it will never become a real inventor.”
Back in the 19th century, Hermann Helmholtz similarly, although less detailed, described the process of making scientific discoveries “from the inside”. In these self-observations of his, the stages of preparation, incubation and illumination are already outlined. Helmholtz wrote about how his scientific ideas are born:
These happy inspirations often invade the head so quietly that you will not immediately notice their significance, sometimes you will only indicate later when and under what circumstances they came: a thought appears in the head, but you don’t know where it comes from.
But in other cases, a thought strikes us suddenly, without effort, like inspiration.
As far as I can judge from personal experience, she is never born tired and never at a desk. Each time I first had to turn my problem in every possible way in every way, so that all its twists and turns lay firmly in my head and could be rehearsed by heart, without the help of writing.
It is usually impossible to get to this point without a lot of work. Then, when the onset of fatigue had passed, an hour of complete bodily freshness and a feeling of calm well-being were required - and only then did good ideas come. Often ... they appeared in the morning, upon awakening, as Gauss also noted.
They were especially willing to come ... during the hours of a leisurely ascent through the wooded mountains, on a sunny day. The slightest amount of liquor seemed to scare them away.
It is curious to note that stages similar to those described by Poincare were singled out in the process of artistic creativity by B. A. Lezin at the beginning of the 20th century.
P. K. Engelmeyer (1910) believed that the work of an inventor consists of three acts: desire, knowledge, skill.
“As long as there is only an idea (Act I) from the invention, there is still no invention: together with the scheme (Act II), the invention is given as a representation, and the III act gives it a real existence. In the first act, the invention is supposed, in the second, it is proved, and in the third, it is carried out. At the end of the first act, it is a hypothesis; at the end of the second, a representation; at the end of the third - a phenomenon. The first act determines it teleologically, the second - logically, the third - in fact. The first act gives a plan, the second - a plan, the third - an act.
P. M. Jacobson (1934) distinguished the following stages:
Creativity can be viewed not only as a process of creating something new, but also as a process that occurs during the interaction of a person (or the inner world of a person) and reality. At the same time, changes occur not only in reality, but also in personality.
“The personality is characterized by activity, the desire of the subject to expand the scope of his activity, to act beyond the boundaries of the requirements of the situation and role prescriptions; orientation - a stable dominant system of motives - interests, beliefs, etc. ... ". Actions that go beyond the requirements of the situation are creative actions.
In accordance with the principles described by S. L. Rubinshtein, by making changes in the surrounding world, a person changes himself. Thus, a person changes himself by carrying out creative activity.
B. G. Ananiev believes that creativity is the process of objectifying the inner world of a person. Creative expression is an expression of the integral work of all forms of human life, a manifestation of his individuality.
In the most acute form, the connection between the personal and the creative is revealed by N. A. Berdyaev. He's writing:
Personality is not a substance, but a creative act.
V. N. Druzhinin writes:
Creativity is based on the global irrational alienation of man from the world; it is directed by a tendency to overcome it, it functions according to the type of "positive feedback"; a creative product only spurs the process, turning it into a pursuit of the horizon.
Thus, through creativity, a person is connected with the world. Creativity stimulates itself.
The representative of the psychoanalytic trend, D. W. Winnicott, puts forward the following assumption:
In the game, and perhaps only in the game, a child or an adult has the freedom of creativity.
Creativity is about play. The game is a mechanism that allows a person to be creative. Through creative activity, a person seeks to find his self (himself, the core of the personality, the deep essence). According to D. V. Winnicott, creative activity is what ensures a healthy state of a person. Confirmation of the connection between play and creativity can also be found in C. G. Jung. He's writing:
The creation of a new one is not a matter, but an attraction to the game, acting on internal compulsion. The creative spirit plays with the objects it loves.
R. May (a representative of the existential-humanistic trend) emphasizes that in the process of creativity, a person meets the world. He's writing:
... What manifests itself as creativity is always a process ... in which the relationship between the individual and the world is carried out ...
N. A. Berdyaev adheres to the following point:
The creative act is always liberation and overcoming. It has an experience of power.
Thus, creativity is something in which a person can exercise his freedom, connection with the world, connection with his deepest essence.
activity, the result of which is the creation of new, original and more advanced material and spiritual values that have objective and/or subjective significance. (3)
Great Definition
Incomplete definition ↓
activity in which human development is limitless. It is creativity that provides him with the opportunity to activate himself. T. active interaction of the subject with the object, during which the subject changes the world around him, creates a new, socially significant in accordance with the requirements of objective laws. T. begins where it ceases to be only an answer, only a solution to a predetermined problem. At the same time, it remains both a solution and an answer, but at the same time there is something “beyond that” in it, which determines its qualitative status. T. everything created by man. Everything that causes the transition from non-existence to existence is T. and, therefore, the creation of any works of art and craft can be called T., and all creators - their creators (Plato). Such an approach to teaching was for ancient pedagogy at its best. The maeutic art of Socrates was based precisely on the offer of the possibility for the student to "remember" any true thought. This proposal has great pedagogical value, because it proceeds from the organic integrity of the student's personality. The process of thinking is really a "recollection" of the ability that was formed in the child in an objective way. Psychologically, this is perceived as surprise, indicating a collision with a contradiction. If in ancient philosophy and pedagogy t. is understood as the discovery of the new, and novelty is present in everything created by man, then “novelty” in the interpretation of I. Kant is something rare and kept secret. "Novelty" here becomes a source and a means of revitalizing attention. T. is becoming more and more subjective and turns from a universal into a partial human ability T. constructive activity to create something new. T. potential is inherent in a person, but the level of its implementation is determined by value orientations, motives, personality orientation, its abilities, and the conditions in which it develops. The view of man as an evolving being, creatively self-determining and self-transforming, as a subject of planetary and cosmic transformative action determines the essence of the anthological approach to the study of technology as a mechanism of development; as one of the forms of metamorphic renewal of matter based on psychic forces (V.N. Nikolko, A.P. Tryapitsyna); as a driving force for the development of society and its environment, the creation of the noosphere (A.G. Shumilin); as a manifestation of the necessity of life in situations with uncertain decisions, unpredictable and unexpected results (V. S. Shubinsky), as the basis for development, movement, change (Ya.I. Ponomarev and others). T. - one of the forms of renewal of the world (A. Bergson, V.I. Vernadsky), closes the pyramid of innovative movements in nature, the most important genus-forming factor of mankind. Man as a species cannot exist if he does not create, since his ability to T. is born from the need to maintain his human existence (A.L. Nikiforov, V.A. Panturin). Consequently, the absence of this need in an individual, its "attenuation" leads to degradation. Only in T. and through T. will a person rise above his natural state. A person capable of T. is original and unique (V.D. Gubin, V.A. Karakovsky). T. serves as the basis for development, acts as a type of determination, complements labor and includes activity as a form of human participation in it (V.I. Nikolko). At the level of an individual personality, creativity acts as a dialectical unity of the “internal” (the creation of oneself) and the “external” (creativity of the surrounding activity). Each individual is a carelessly open potentiality with a huge degree of freedom. T. thinking in its highest form, going beyond the limits required for solving the problem that has arisen by already known methods. T. with dominance in the process of thinking manifests itself as imagination. Being a component of the goal and method of activity, it raises it to the level of creative activity as a prerequisite for mastery and initiative. T. with various degrees of its severity can manifest itself in any type of activity and is associated with a hierarchy of experiences - from interest through passion and inspiration to insight. At the highest manifestation of T., inspiration dominates in consciousness, up to insight, in the personality - the need for activity, and in activity - the desire to achieve new, previously unset goals by new, previously untested means.

The article was written based on the materials of the site "Country of Masters" (mostly).
Studying the recently discovered site "Country of Masters" and never ceasing to be surprised and admired by the variety of applied art techniques and the talent of our people, I decided to systematize the techniques.
The list will be updated as new techniques are discovered.
* Techniques related to the use of paper:
1. Iris folding ("Rainbow folding") - paper folding technique. Appeared in Holland. The technique requires attention and accuracy, but at the same time it allows you to easily make spectacular postcards or decorate the pages of a memorable album (scrapbooking) with interesting decorative elements.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/776
2. Paper plastics in terms of creativity is very similar to sculpture. But, in paper plastic, all products are empty inside, all products are shells of the depicted object. And in sculpture, either the volume is increased with additional elements, or the excess is removed (cut off).
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/462
3. Corrugated tubes - this is the name of the technique for making products, in which corrugated paper tubes are used to decorate surfaces or create three-dimensional figures. Corrugated tubes are obtained by winding a strip of paper on a stick, pencil or knitting needle, followed by compression. The compressed corrugated tube holds its shape well and has many options for execution and use.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1492
4. Quilling (from the English quilling - from the word quil "bird feather") - the art of paper rolling. It originated in medieval Europe, where nuns created medallions by twisting paper strips with gilded edges on the tip of a bird's feather, which created an imitation of a gold miniature.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/587
http://stranamasterov.ru/node/1364
4. Origami (from Japanese letters: “folded paper”) is the ancient art of folding paper figures. The art of origami has its roots in ancient China, where paper was discovered.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/560
Kinds:
- Kirigami - a type of origami that allows the use of scissors and paper cutting in the process of making a model. This is the main difference between kirigami and other paper folding techniques, which is emphasized in the name: kiru - cut, kami - paper.
Pop-up is a whole trend in art. This technique combines elements of techniques.
- Kirigami and Cutouts and allows you to create three-dimensional designs and postcards that fold into a flat figure.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1723
- Kusudama (Japanese: "medicine ball") - a paper model, which is usually (but not always) formed by stitching together the ends of many identical pyramidal modules (usually stylized flowers folded from a square sheet of paper), so that a spherical body is obtained forms. Alternatively, individual components can be glued together (for example, the kusudama in the bottom photo is completely glued, not sewn). Sometimes, as a decoration, a tassel is attached from below.
The art of kusudama comes from an ancient Japanese tradition where kusudama was used for incense and a mixture of dry petals; these may have been the first true bouquets of flowers or herbs. The word itself is a combination of the two Japanese words kusuri (medicine) and tama (ball). Currently, kusudami are usually used for decoration or as gifts.
Kusudama is an important part of origami, particularly as a precursor to modular origami. It is often confused with modular origami, which is incorrect, since the elements that make up kusudama are sewn or glued, and not nested into each other, as modular origami suggests.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/850
- Origami from circles - folding origami from a paper circle. Usually, an appliqué is then glued from the folded parts.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1636
- Origami modular - the creation of three-dimensional figures from triangular origami modules - invented in China. The whole figure is assembled from many identical parts (modules). Each module is folded according to the rules of classic origami from one sheet of paper, and then the modules are connected by nesting them into each other. The resulting friction force does not allow the structure to disintegrate.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/15
5. Papier-mâché (French papier-mâché “chewed paper”) is an easily shaped mass obtained from a mixture of fibrous materials (paper, cardboard) with adhesives, starch, gypsum, etc. Papier-mâché is used to make dummies , masks, teaching aids, toys, theatrical props, boxes. In some cases, even furniture.
In Fedoskino, Palekh, Kholui papier-mâché is used to make the basis for traditional lacquer miniatures.
You can decorate a papier-mache blank not only with paints, painting like famous artists, but using decoupage or assemblage.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/561
7. Embossing (another name is "embossing") - mechanical extrusion that creates images on paper, cardboard, polymeric material or plastic, foil, parchment (the technique is called "parchment", see below), as well as on leather or birch bark, in which the material itself is embossed with a convex or concave stamp with or without heating, sometimes with the additional use of foil and paint. Embossing is carried out mainly on book covers, postcards, invitation cards, labels, soft packaging, etc.
This type of work can be determined by many factors: force, texture and thickness of the material, the direction of its cutting, layout and other factors.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1626
Kinds:
- Parchment - parchment paper (thick waxed tracing paper) is processed with an embossing tool and becomes convex and whitens during processing. In this technique, interesting postcards are obtained, and this technique can also be used to design a scrappage.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1705
- Texturing - applying an image using a cliche on a smooth material, usually metallized paper, in order to simulate foil stamping. Also used to imitate the skin of certain breeds (for example, a cliché with a pattern that imitates the skin of a crocodile, etc.)
* Techniques related to weaving:
Man learned weaving much earlier than pottery. At first, he wove dwellings (roofs, fences, furniture), all kinds of baskets for various needs (cradles, tuesas, wagons, turtles, baskets) and shoes from long flexible branches. Man has learned to braid his hair.
With the development of this type of needlework, more and more different materials for application appeared. It turned out that you can weave from everything that comes across: from vines and reeds, from ropes and threads, from leather and birch bark, from wire and beads, from newspapers .... Such weaving techniques as weaving, weaving from birch bark and reeds appeared. , tatting, macrame knot weaving, bobbin weaving, beading, ganutel, kumihimo cord weaving, chain mail weaving, net weaving, Indian mandala weaving, their imitations (weaving from paper strips and candy wrappers, weaving from newspapers and magazines)...
As it turned out, this type of needlework is still popular, because using it, you can weave a lot of beautiful and useful things, decorating our home with them.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/302
1. Beading, like the beads themselves, has a long history. The ancient Egyptians were the first to learn how to weave necklaces from beaded threads, string bracelets and cover women's dresses with beaded nets. But only in the 19th century did the real flourishing of bead production begin. For a long time, the Venetians carefully guarded the secrets of creating a glass miracle. Craftsmen and craftswomen decorated clothes and shoes, purses and handbags, cases for fans and eyeglasses, as well as other elegant things with beads.
With the advent of beads in America, the natives began to use it instead of traditional Indian familiar materials. For ritual belt, cradle, headband, basket, hairnet, earrings, snuff boxes..
In the Far North, beaded embroidery was used to decorate fur coats, high fur boots, hats, reindeer harness, leather sunglasses...
Our great-grandmothers were very inventive. Among the huge variety of elegant trinkets, there are amazing items. Brushes and covers for chalk, cases for a toothpick (!), an inkwell, a pen and a pencil, a collar for your favorite dog, a cup holder, lace collars, Easter eggs, chess boards and much, much, much more.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1355
2. Ganutel - exclusive Maltese needlework. It is in the monasteries of the Mediterranean that this technique of creating beautiful flowers to decorate the altar has survived to this day.
The ganutel uses thin spiral wire and silk threads to wind parts, as well as beads, pearls or seed beads. Brilliant flowers are elegant and light.
In the 16th century, a spiral wire made of gold or silver was called in Italian “canutiglia”, and in Spanish “canutillo”, in Russian this word probably transformed into “gimp”.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1170
3. Macrame (from Arabic - braid, fringe, lace or from Turkish - scarf or napkin with fringe) - nodular weaving technique.
The technique of this nodular weaving has been known since antiquity. According to some reports, macrame came to Europe in the VIII-IX centuries from the East. This technique was known in Ancient Egypt, Assyria, Iran, Peru, China, Ancient Greece.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/750
4. Lace weaving on bobbin. In Russia, the Vologda, Yelets, Kirov, Belevsky, Mikhailovsky crafts are still known.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1687
5. Tatting is a woven nodular lace. It is also called shuttle lace, because this lace is woven with a special shuttle.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1728
* Techniques related to painting, various types of painting and creating images:
Drawing is a genre in the visual arts and a corresponding technique that creates a visual image (image) on a surface or object using graphic means, drawing elements (as opposed to pictorial elements), mainly from lines and strokes.
For example: charcoal drawing, pencil drawing, ink and pen drawing...
Painting - a type of fine art associated with the transmission of visual images by applying paints to a solid or flexible base; creating an image using digital technology; as well as works of art made in such ways.
The most common works of painting are made on flat or almost flat surfaces, such as canvas stretched on a stretcher, wood, cardboard, paper, treated wall surfaces, etc. Paintings also include images made with paints on decorative and ceremonial vessels. whose surfaces can have complex shapes.
Examples: http://stranamasterov.ru/taxonomy/term/1218
1. Batik - hand-painted on fabric using reserve compositions.
The batik technique is based on the fact that paraffin, rubber glue, as well as some other resins and varnishes, when applied to a fabric (silk, cotton, wool, synthetics), do not allow paint to pass through - or, as the artists say, "reserve" from staining individual sections of the fabric.

Pointillisme, literally “dottedness”) is a style of writing in painting that uses pure paints that do not mix on the palette, applied in small strokes of a rectangular or round shape, based on their optical mixing in the eye of the viewer, in contrast to mixing paints on the palette. Optical mixing of three primary colors (red, blue, yellow) and pairs of additional colors (red - green, blue - orange, yellow - violet) gives a much greater brightness than a mechanical mixture of pigments. Mixing colors with the formation of shades occurs at the stage of perception of the picture by the viewer from a distance or in a reduced form.
Georges Seurat was the founder of the style.
Another name for pointillism is divisionism (from Latin divisio - division, crushing).

By and large, in this technique, it all comes down to folding the cut out parts and sewing them onto the base in a certain sequence. Or, using paper, compose (glue) various panels of a rounded (or polyhedral shape) on a plane or in volume.
There are two ways to sew: the tip of the blanks is directed to the center of the main part, or to its edges. This is if you sew a flat product. For products of a volumetric nature - with a tip to a narrower part. The parts to be folded are not necessarily cut into squares. It can be both rectangles and circles. In any case, we meet with the folding of cut-out blanks, therefore, it can be argued that these patchwork techniques belong to the origami patchwork family, and since they create volume, therefore, they also belong to the "3d" technique.

“Only the realization of creative potential, whatever its scale, makes a person mentally normal and emotionally stable” Zharikov E.S.
I, as a creative person, thought about this question: “What is creativity for?”. What gives people creativity, that despite the 21st century it remains relevant and in demand.
After all, creativity is not only art (dance, song, painting, writing), it is also the birth of ideas, creativity in business, science, everyday life, with the help of which people manage to make discoveries, create something from nothing. After all, it is the creativity of thinking that gives a very successful growth in a career, business, and one's own business. I myself was a witness in a situation where an employee was asked to show his creativity in solving complex problems. So creativity, creativity is necessary and I think everyone has these qualities. I agree with the opinion of the American psychologist Abraham Maslow “creativity is a creative orientation that is innately characteristic of everyone, but lost by the majority under the influence of the existing system of upbringing, education and social practice. “ 
This is probably why art therapy is becoming so popular today. With the help of which everyone has the opportunity to reveal their creative potential and not only. After all, drawing, dancing or writing a fairy tale can help find answers to many questions. A drawing or a fairy tale is a direct path to the unconscious, through them we plunge into our inner world, open up for ourselves, get to know our inner world, and by showing the work to other people, in this way we tell about ourselves, we give the opportunity to get to know our personality through a drawing, a fairy tale, dance. The richness of colors, lines, shapes, rhythms, movements, textures and spaces have a favorable, resource and developing potential: they contribute to the harmonization of emotional states, recuperation, and also allow discovering new horizons of human creativity.
The ability to express the same emotional state with the help of different types of art is exactly what everyone who wants to enter the temple of art should strive for.
Creativity is one of the ways to preserve oneself as a person, of course there are other judgments on this issue, but I am of the opinion that creating, and creating means creating, a person does not just exist - he lives, develops himself, his personality and his skills, abilities , which are most likely peculiar to him alone in the world.
As Wikipedia says:
“Creativity is a process of activity that creates qualitatively new material and spiritual values or the result of creating a subjectively new one. The main criterion that distinguishes creativity from manufacturing (production) is the uniqueness of its result.”
And if we take world painting or the works of the great classics, then they gained world fame and popularity precisely thanks to their work, which famous people of art got from the depths of their personality and presented to the whole world, otherwise nothing. Franz Kafka said that the book must be an ax, breaking the frozen sea, which is located inside us, Dostoevsky believed that the purpose of the novel should be the rebirth of the reader, and Robert Schumann said this phrase: “ To send light into the depths of the human heart - this is the purpose of the artist “. Those. after reading a book, a fairy tale, watching a movie or a picture, a person must somehow change, something must happen in him or him, then this is art.
This is the conclusion I made while working and reflecting on the question “What is creativity for?” When a person knows himself, he can achieve any desired results in our material and social world. And the task for me as an artist is to convey this essence of creativity through my paintings, to show the uniqueness of each person, nature and provoke a desire to change my life for the better, to bring to the surface all the best that is in the human soul.
