BACKGROUND STUDY

   I am very interested in the world of art that is increasing. By this I choose an article related to pattern batik. So, what is batik???Batik is a type of cloth. Evidence of early examples of batik has been found in the Far East, Middle East, Central Asia and India from over 2000 years ago. It is conceivable that these areas developed independently, without the influence from trade or cultural exchanges. However, it is more likely that the craft spread from Asia to the islands of the Malay Archipelago and west to the Middle East through the caravan route. Batik was practised in China as early as the Sui Dynasty (AD 581-618). These were silk batiks and these have also been discovered in Nara, Japan in the form of screens and ascribed to the Nara period (AD 710-794). It is probable that these were made by Chinese artists. They are decorated with trees, animals, flute players, hunting scenes and stylised mountains.

  No evidence of very old cotton batiks have been found in India but frescoes in the Ajunta caves depict head wraps and garments which could well have been batiks. In Java and Bali temple ruins contain figures whose garments are patterned in a manner suggestive of batik. By 1677 there is evidence of a considerable export trade, mostly on silk from China to Java, Sumatra, Persia and Hindustan. In Egypt linen and occasionally woollen fabrics have been excavated bearing white patterns on a blue ground and are the oldest known and date from the 5th century A.D. They were made in Egypt, possibly Syria. In central Africa resist dyeing using cassava and rice paste has existed for centuries in the Yoruba tribe of Southern Nigeria and Senegal.

  Indonesia, most particularly the island of Java, is the area where batik has reached the greatest peak of accomplishment. The Dutch brought Indonesian craftsmen to teach the craft to Dutch warders in several factories in Holland from 1835. The Swiss produced imitation batik in the early 1940s. A wax block form of printing was developed in Java using a cap.

  By the early 1900s the Germans had developed mass production of batiks. There are many examples of this form of batik as well as hand-produced work in many parts of the world today. Computerisation of batik techniques is a very recent development.

  Until now the pattern of batik is got most of the pattern not only the pattern in trees, animals, flute players, hunting scenes and stylised mountains, they got most the pattern and use the concept of line, space, pattern and colour….

In this project I choose the pattern batik to be mine material and most I use the style in Indonesia, Malaysia and fashion.

Descriptions of My Poster

   My poster is preview about the pattern of batik. From an artiste’s point pattern is view about an underlying structure that organizes surfaces or structures in a consistent, regular manner. Pattern can be described as a repeating unit of shape or form, but it can also be thought of as the "skeleton" that organizes the parts of a composition. At this project I use the animal, plant and line to be mine material and at the research I found got many the pattern of batik the draw the animal is good at nice in the shape. So that I choose it the animal be mine frist material,the plant just the idea I get it with a cartoon Chinese[Q ban san guo yan yi]and [mo fa a ma].The line is the idea come from my lecturer MDM NOR TIJIAN. Hope you all like it mine art work.
