“…Sensory elements complement each other by achieving a synergistic effect during the process of training, treatment, and relaxation. Such relaxation spaces can be seen as a work of art and a stage for creating an experience (Whitaker 2017).…”

The study focuses on the theoretical and practical aspects of multifunctional art-relaxation rooms in a learning environment. Such rooms become centers for solving several social problems, including overcoming stress not only among students but also among other vulnerable groups-combat veterans, retirees, and children. Implementing them in continuous practice becomes a relevant problem, especially with the consequences of the COVID-2019 pandemic. This study is based on a systematic approach and is interdisciplinary. The original methodology provides the analysis of different forms of relaxation space organizing in the historical context, and the formation of the main design standards for justifying the original concept of environment design. The practical result of the study is the multifunctional space of art-relaxation "Art-Tell-Iya," which operates permanently at the Lutsk National Technical University (Lutsk, Ukraine). The classes of art-relaxation and art therapy for restoring the mental state of ATO/JFO (Joint Forces Operation) veterans, classes for small groups of students, and activities of various artistic orientations are held in this space. The design space helps to improve psychological state and form new life strategies for a person through art. The authors present their own experience in art-relaxation space designing, which is based on main design standards, such as multifunctionality, aesthetics, and imagery, as well as visual and communicative interactions. From the standpoint of the systematic approach, the art-relaxation space is implemented as a model of world perception and as a powerful visual communicative system aimed at improving a person's psychological health. This study is an important step in the direction of solving the problem concerning the design of relaxation spaces in educational institutions for different visitors. It forms the base to conduct deeper research that is aimed at identifying connections between the design aspects and the efficiency indexes formation in the context of relaxation processes.

“…Similar to the unique difference between providing services in an institutional setting and the environmental settings that are far more researched in the art therapy field (Whitaker, 2017), working in a home-based setting can be regarded as another adaptation of any physical and therapeutic space. This unique setting comes with its own set of challenges, expectations, ethical dilemmas, and role adaptation for the therapist (Sezaki & Bloomgarden, 2000;Yang, Garis, Jackson, & McClure, 2009;Zur, 2015).…”

Summary The study deals with the possibilities of integrating the folk experience of creating Ukrainian games and toys into modern visual culture. An ethno-cultural pattern that synthesizes the artistic image, national form, natural materials, and game principles of interaction into an integral structure based on the analysis of folklore materials and artistic folk products from the territory of Western Polissia in Ukraine has been formed. The result of the study is the classification of Ukrainian folk toys and games of the population of Western Polissia organized as a holistic multifaceted visual and communicative system of interaction between folk games and toys. It has been proved that integration of ethno-cultural patterns into modern visual culture is carried out on three levels: subject, environmental, and socio-cultural. The study presents the theoretical basis for designing a modern visual and communicative environment for life, learning and rest, which is able to attract a child to the deep traditions of national culture in a natural way. The outlined levels of integration are closely related with modern practices of eco-design, ethno-design, and art-therapy, which act as a strategic basis for the formation of modern visual culture and are aimed at the sustainable development of society.
