Central Asian arts (literary, performing arts, visual arts, and so on) are referred to as such in many
Asian countries that adopted Turkish culture.
This vast expanse of country, with its diverse topography and climate, as well as ethnic and linguistic
backgrounds, stimulated the development of a wide range of artistic forms and traditions among the people
of far different places. The advent of different religions amplified these disparities, which in turn stimulated
the formation of diverse aesthetic schools or traditions. Further aesthetic differences can be attributed to a
cultural time lag, as equivalent phases of artistic growth were not achieved at the same time across the
region.

People who lived in what is now Uzbekistan are famed for their ability to create printed fabric. Printed
tablecloths, curtains, bedspreads, shawls, and various coverlets served as both functional and decorative
items.
Ceramics from Uzbekistan are among the most popular types of applied art in the country. Nomadic
patterns and designs were used to embellish clothing, utility equipment, yurts, and horse saddles.
Kazakhstan's visual arts are still in their infancy. Nomads used to sketch on rocks in ancient times.
These petroglyphs can now be found all across Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan's fine arts are diverse in terms of style, direction, and genre. In museums across
Kazakhstan. The most captivating work of Kazakhstan painters from various times may be seen.

For millennia, Tajiks have been producing fabrics, utensils, musical instruments, carpets, furniture, jewelry,
and a variety of other items. The art of ornate carving is extremely important to the locals. Architectural
monuments, household structures and artifacts, musical instruments and objects, musical instruments and
mementos are all examples of carving.

When Islam arrived, Tajik carving shifted to Arabian inscriptions with images of human and animals,
though some carvers preferred "vegetative," geometrical patterns. The use of lotus, tulips, and other flowers
as ornamentation is more popular in architecture.

LESSON 2- ARTS OF TURKMENISTAN AND KYRGYSTAN
Felt making, jewelry making, woodworking, ceramics, and silversmithing are examples of traditional
arts.
Turkmenistan produces some of the world's most distinctive and stunning carpets. These come in
a variety of shapes and sizes, and serve a variety of purposes. Weaving carpets is an ancient art form, and
each tribe evolved its own unique pattern.

Women have traditionally made Turkmen carpets out of wool, cotton, and silk on horizontal looms.
The weaving procedure has been modernized, but the materials' beauty and quality have not changed.

Turkmenistan also produces ketene, a home-spun silk used

to make the lovely costumes worn by Turkmen ladies on
special occasions. The embroidery incorporates a variety of
motifs, each as distinct as a family seal.

Krygyz women make a variety of textiles, the most of

which are made from their sheep's felt. Ancient designs are
now updated for the tourist and export markets, but it is still
alive tradition, with hand-made carpets or rugs known as
shirdaks found in all yurts and most homes.

Tush kyiz, or large beautifully embroidered wall

hangings, are historically made by older women in Kyrgystan and Kazakhstan to honor the marriage of a
son or daughter.

Colors and patterns are chosen to represent Krygyz

culture and rural life. These ornate and colorful
embroideries frequently feature flowers, plants, animals,
stylized horns, national patterns, and emblems of Kyrgyz
life.

Flat cushions, like the one shown above, are

generally created in shadow pairs. Every chair has one of
these to cushion the seat.
