Application is a type of fine art in which the details are first cut out with scissors and then glued in the correct order to the base. This type of creative work is used everywhere. The study of applications begins with the nursery group of kindergarten. Children make simple crafts on a piece of paper. Details are cut out by the tutor. Over time, work is becoming more complicated. At the end of preschool age, children independently cut out the necessary parts for the drawing, produce voluminous work, using a variety of materials.
In the article, we will consider what an application is, what materials are used in such art, how it is made, what needs to be learned, because an application is one of the difficult decorative and applied techniques. We will also figure out what material such crafts can be made from.

Pictures are created from beads and newspapers, even plasticine is used. Images from threads glued on paper look beautiful. Even on furniture, drawing from small components is used. They just do not stick on top, but crash into the wooden part.
Types of applications
Views vary in both subject and image form. Application is such a wide area that the difference manifests itself even in the color scheme. For example, silhouette cutout from black paper is popular. There are one-color pictures, and there are multi-colored ones.
The simplest type of paper application is a flat image. Then the children are explained how to make three-dimensional pictures, in which the details are not glued to the end, and the edges of some are notched or twisted, bent by eyelets, etc.
Subjects of work are also different:
