THE USE OF VEGETAL THEMES IN THE WORKS OF ALBRECHT DÜRER IN INDUSTRIAL CERAMIC DESIGNS

Building materials have been shaped according to the conditions of the climate and the period with the settlement of humanity. Materials have developed within the possibilities offered by technology and have become indispensable elements of structures. Different cultures and traditions have emerged due to geography, the taste of these cultures and the development in technologies have affected their standards. While quality production in building materials is related to technology, decorative elements are related to the symbols brought by the traditions of culture. Since our country is home to countless civilizations, its culturalheritage is rich. When it comes to the design process and marketing of the material produced, only the data in the regional culture and the accumulation of culture and art around the world come to the forefront in design of building materials. In order to appeal to different cultures and to have say in the world market, the data provided by the world art history should be utilized while designing surfaces. In the study, data collected by reviewing the literature on the artist, and surface designs were made with floral motifs found in his works. Design studies carried out in the photoshope program by showing examples of the painter's works. Design applications printed with printing techniques suitable for today's technology and made available for mass production. For this reason, color tones suitable for printing such as brown, gray and blue were preferred. Keywords: Tile, Design, Dürer, Ink-jet
