Статья посвящена творчеству советского живописца, народного художника, академика АХ СССР Семена Афанасьевича Чуйкова. В фокусе внимания автора живописные произведения художника, посвященные Индии. В отличие от наиболее изученных работ о Киргизии, ее людях и природе, индийская тема представляет еще много возможностей для изучения средств художественной выразительности и развития творческого метода С.А. Чуйкова. В результате анализа произведений разных лет в контексте биографии и мировоззрения художника автор статьи выявляет черты живописно-пластической структуры картин, особенности образов и колорита. Особое внимание уделено поэтизации образов простых людей Индии, их быта, а также мотивам женщины и матери, перекличке тем материнства и равноправия, демократизму художника. Отмечены характерные решения в композиции, пластике, а также стремление художника к большой форме, к монументальному обобщенному образу. The article is devoted to the work of the Soviet painter Semyon Chuikov, peoples artist, academician of the Academy of Arts of the USSR. The author focuses on paintings by the artist dedicated to India. Unlike the most studied works on Kyrgyzstan, its people and nature, the Indian theme still has plenty of opportunities to explore the means of artistic expression and the development of a creative method of S.A. Chuikov. As a result of the analysis of works of different years in the context of the artists biography and worldview, the author of the article reveals the features of the picturesque-plastic structure of paintings, especially images and color. Particular attention is paid to the images of Indian people , their everyday life, as well as the motives of woman and mother, the parallelism of topics of motherhood and equality, and the democratism of the artist. Characteristic decisions in composition, plastic, as well as the artists desire for a large form, for a monumental generalized image are noted.

This book explores the poetry of everyday life and relates it to folklore, with the objective of helping the reader to maximize their capacity for artistic expression. It asks how we can tap into the poetics of things we often take for granted, from the stories we tell to the people we love, or the sports and games we play. It considers how poems serve us in daily life, as well as the ways poems are used in crisis situations: to serve people with AIDS, or as a form of healing and remembrance after 9/11. The book also looks at the tales and metaphors of scientists as a kind of poetry that enables us to better understand the universe around us. It includes a section dedicated to art in the human life cycle and explains the author's own conception of “the human unit of time.” Lastly, the book suggests ways to tap in to the artfulness and artistry of our own lives and how to find audiences for your work, to share your vision with the world.

All design has its own conditional modes of expression; however, these are realised through the maker’s sense of the possibilities of materiality. This essay was inspired by a reclaimed piece of 1960s furniture designed in the modernist idiom, and is based upon autobiographical experiences, original works from own and contemporary aesthetic practices, and associated thoughts in the present. A completely new artistic expression was developed, which questioned the strict, use-defined style ideals and let shape reveal other values and statements than function. The intention of this essay is to put into words some of the cognitive processes in which creativity, critical reflection and the senses’ experience-based insights may bring up something new. In creative work, the goal is not to reach a single result; every little discovery made by examining something specific could open up new worlds.

Practice-led research can sometimes develop discourses that are not always consistent with the grammatical logics of academic language. However, practice-led research can reproduce and/or explain what happens when an individual encounters things and events in the world. This dynamic may thus open up innovative ways of codifying and authenticating knowledge gained from the performance of everyday life that might otherwise remain inexplicable (or seem irrelevant or disconnected within the existing structures and grammars of scientific discourse). Such practice-led research can lead to new forms of expression in order to understand the individual's subjective experience. Thus, while practice-led research may challenge (and sometimes upturn) established methods of logic and rational argument, it also enables a researcher to develop explanations of events and encounters in the world that may otherwise not be accessible to them. Creative work can also make the impact of scientific research available to those who may not have a thorough working knowledge of scientific and academic discourses in the relevant discipline. The paper discusses these issues while focusing on a creative project/website developed through practice-led research.

Affordable technology facilitates an immediate documentation of sound and space that encourages collective artistic expression modeled after track- or song-remixing websites. Students in a newly proposed music composition course must capture and generate original sounds, and then upload them to a separate class drive for other students to reuse. New creative work consists entirely of these reused sounds. The author discusses the use of remixed sound collages in an open access format and considers the positive influence of legal file exchange and remixing in educational musical practice.

This study gives an insight into Karadžić’s creative work from the aspect of culture and historical reality. It involves a culturological and creative analysis. A review is offered of research on the creative work of this artist in society and his catharsis in various cultural and historical contexts, from the aspect of culture, as a chronicle of society and in terms of pictorial expression. His artistic expression and the semantics of creative interpretation through the chronological method in the research indirectly reveal a cathartic boost given to this artist’s steps in his creative expression. The study will be inspirational for hronological approaches regarding creativity in the Balkan cultural area.

Secessionism from the beginning of the XX century offered a new option for the creation and interpretation of art through a unique individual expression of the artist that was the result of the coming changes in society. Gustav Klimt, one of the most striking representatives of Viennese secessionism, with his lifestyle and style of creation through combining techniques, has made changes in art, not always accepted in every segment, but with long-term consequences for the development of art and fashion. In a fashion sense, Klimt presented not only a new artistic expression but also paved the way of a modern contemporary woman. He was breaking social frames and norms, which was a link to the emerging fashion of the new age inevitably. The work was created with the idea of a brief overview and analysis of Gustav Klimt's creative work with elements of influence on the development of novelties in the design of clothing from the beginning, but also in the last decades during the XX century, from clothing, textile design to fashion accessories. Essential elements such as decorative ornaments and their combination through a combination of cold and warm colors enriched with gold tones have become authentic motifs imbued with the warmth of floral form and the mystique of geometrization.

African diasporic communities throughout the Americas played important roles in creating colonial societies, providing both a population base and ways to organize everyday life as evidenced in subsistence activities, housing, language, religion, and artistic expression. In the Andes, Afro-Peruvian ritual specialists provide an example of black participation in forging a place in colonial society during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. They earned both respect and fear, status and stigma, for their ability to solve a variety of problems and illnesses believed to be caused by the malice of other people or by supernatural forces. These ritualists also show how people of African descent helped invent widely-employed strategies to bridge cultures and link heterogeneous colonial populations in Andean cities.

This chapter details events in Roland Penrose's life from 1932 to 1935. In an attempt to sort out the problems in their marriage, Roland and Valentine travelled to India at the end of 1932, where their friend, Cuban-born archaeologist Vicente-Marcelino-Julio Galarza Pérez Castañeda had taken up a professorship in Arabic philosophy at the University of Calcutta. Although they were largely sheltered from them, the Penroses nevertheless felt themselves assaulted on a daily basis by the harsh realities of everyday life in India. Roland's sense of natural justice was further battered when he witnessed the treatment of the Indian people at the hands of their English rulers.
