Abstract

The results of scant attention to questions of artistic cultural decay and esthetic expressiveness are critical condition and often lack of artistic emotional and figurative perception of urban architectural environment and most of public and housing objects in Ukraine. One of the ways of dealing with this problem is implementation of specified means and techniques of artistic design. Many scientists research color and form impact on the urban architectural environment, however the attention is paid to the solution of general theoretical questions often ignoring artistic factor. That's why it is important to systematize information about means of formation of emotional and figurative perception of urban architectural environment accounting artistic factor and determine artistic techniques for form and color implementation to urban architectural environment. The aim and tasks of work are to systematize information about means for emotional and figurative perception of urban architectural environment using artistic factor, determine techniques for implementing main tools of artistic design to architectural and urban environment. Therefore, analysis and systematization of scientific research results, literary and informational sources revealed that such tools as form and color have the most significant influence on the formation of emotional and figurative perception of urban architectural environment within artistic design. As the result of the comparative analysis of existing knowledge six artistic techniques of implementing form and color to architectural and urban environment are presented. Among them are technique of polar contrast utilization, technique of highlighting, technique of rhythm, technique of dynamism or transparency, technique of expressiveness and technique of form and color subjectivity. Above mentioned techniques for implementing form and color to architectural and urban environment are basic for the development of the author's own language of self-realization by architect-artist. Using these techniques both together and separately, their successful combination can create an architectural and urban environment with a unique atmosphere, which is in development and changes constantly, dictates its own rules of perception, elicit an individual emotional response from every visitor.
