Abstract:
The study focuses on the synthesis of artistic, aesthetic, methodological and
technological problems of the evolution of the protective helmet for motorized vehicle riders
(MVR) as a subject of design activity. An analysis of the historical development of the protective
helmet as a component of the project culture was given; the emergence of the protective helmet
and the characteristic features of the development of the design were investigated. It is noted that
the helmet primarily fulfils a protective function and is a logical stylistic extension of the image,
which can support or destroy the integrity of the rider's image. The evolution of stylistic
orientations, their peculiarities in the formation of the protective helmet, is considered. In order
to understand the essence of form formation as a source of stylistic, artistic and compositional
ideas It is ensured that the shape of the protective helmet is considered as a set of elements forming
the qualitative aesthetic indicators thereof; analysed the relationship between the technical and
artistic component in its content for the functional purpose, respectively, where the protective
helmet acquires the properties of an independent element of the MV rider's costume.
