THE IMPORTANCE OF TEACHING CARPET WEAVING TECHNOLOGY IN THE FORMATION OF STUDENTS' AESTHETIC EDUCATION

Carpet weaving, as one of the most significant branches of traditional art, represents a centuries-old heritage that embodies cultural identity, aesthetic values, and artistic expression. In the context of modern education, teaching carpet weaving technology extends beyond the acquisition of technical skills. It plays an essential role in developing students’ creativity, aesthetic taste, patience, and attention to detail while simultaneously fostering respect for national traditions and cultural values. The instruction of carpet weaving not only preserves and transmits traditional artistic knowledge but also contributes to students’ personal and cultural development. By engaging with the symbolic motifs, color harmony, and design principles of carpets, learners cultivate both innovative thinking and cultural awareness. Thus, carpet weaving education functions as an effective means of aesthetic formation, integrating technical mastery with creativity and reinforcing the continuity of cultural heritage in contemporary society.
