Employing plastic arts in designing the Iraqi theatrical landscape

Abstract

The current research aims to identify the plastic arts and how they developed through the historical eras, and there is no doubt that theatrical performance is a social and artistic product, and that the performance of the actor is one of the basic elements forming each theatrical performance because it transforms the written text into a vibrant art, and it has components and measurements. Theater is one of the visual arts, which is made up of various elements and has a deep connection with other arts with its artistic characteristics. Between aesthetic pleasure and intellectual benefit lies the desire for creative expression. Likewise, researching the artistic heritage of a people requires access to facts or some of them by reviewing them in search of forms or contents that reflect through generations images of human art. Also, the use of symbols in art dates back to the Paleolithic era, so man in this era is the first source of symbolic practices, as well as the formal employment of size, as it is one of the elements of visual language.
