Abstract

The article discussed the role that the subsequent artistic colonies played in shaping the local colouring scheme of Szklarska Poręba. It also presents the specificity of architectural and urban complexes of the town and their relationships with the history and natural conditions of this area. The article also brought up the issue of active prevention of degradation of the character of this place which has been formed for centuries. Drawing and painting studies – artistic documentation of architectural and urban complexes in the open air – have been presented as one of the methods of getting to know these complexes and enriching own design skills and possibilities.
