THE USE OF CIRCULAR SPRINGS IN PATTERN DESIGN BETWEEN SQUARE CORSETS IN TRADITIONAL TURKISH TILE DECORATIVE ART
Abstract
Both in classical Turkish decorative arts and works produced today, compositions of geometric patterns have also been used as well as various floral motifs. The compositions of these geometric forms were also used in wall tiles which have a considerable place in Turkish decorative arts. The use of circular curves in decorating tile surfaces is too common but there aren’t significant details regarding the passage of circular curves between the diagonal of squares in series on tile surfaces. In this study, the creation of circular curves between the diagonals of squares on a square tile surface is formulated and applied. The main methodology is based on to calculate the radius of the circular curve and the frontal angle of circular curve depending on the length of the frame. In addition, according to the given radius of the circular curve to be passed, the edge angle of the square and the center angle of the circular curve were calculated. It is explained how the circular curves between the square diagonal will be applied on the surface of a tile with simple measuring tools. Necessary practices are experimented and obtained findings and considerations are explained.
