Task 4 : batik proposal
SUMMARY
Batik is a fabric that we use a wax
to make a pattern on it. Batik was famous in Kelantan and Terengganu. The
history of batik was from Indonesia it is one of the art work that very famous
in Indonesia. In Indonesia batik was use in every formal festival or feast in
their country even the prime minister also love to wear batik. Batik also well
known in other country such as Africa, India, Sri Lanka, and China. Batik comes
from Jawa word it is ‘tik’ means dripping or writes the dots. Other than that
batik also comes from words ‘ambatik’ mean drawing, writing, coloring, or
dripping. Every country has a different type and pattern of batik such as in
Malaysia the pattern of batik is based on natural like the flower and the leaf.
In Malaysia batik was made using color and the wax but in Africa they made
batik using the mud. Usually we see batik only in the fabric but this time I
want to make batik using the paper and I also want to replace the using of wax
by using the liquid paper. Other than that I see there is so many batik that
using the motif of flora and have many color on it. Therefore I want to design
other pattern it is a death tree pattern and I also want to make the batik
using only one color.
According what I have research there
is one person do batik only using 1 color it is KELLI MURRAY. She using only
one color to make batik and hanging it on the wall it looks very interesting.
She using black color and the wax to make the pattern on batik and make the
pattern of flora and arrange it on the circle shape. There is also one person
name Wai Lin Foong, she do an experiment using the liquid paper and water
color. One of the arts is, she drawing a butterfly and some pattern of shape
using more than one color.
AIMS
Use paper as the place
to make batik
My
aim for this proposal is to experiment on make a batik using other method and
using a difference thing. As we know batik in Malaysia use a fabric, wax and
dye color therefore I want to make some change and make a little difference. I
want to change the using of the fabric to using of paper. I did it because I
want it look difference and make the cost to make it cheap. Other than that when
we use paper it easy to us to recycle it back because as we know paper is the
one of recycle thing that is very useful and it is also very ecofriendly.
Make the batik using
paper and liquid paper.
Batik
is one of the traditional things that have a specific value and contain a lot
of pattern and color to make it look nice and beautiful. By using paper and
liquid paper will make it easy to produce and everyone can make their own batik
without need so much cost and it is safer than using the wax. By using the
liquid paper children also can play and make their own pattern of batik. Other
than that we are not feel scare to make what we want because it can be erase if
there is some mistake. Other that as we know that batik has more than one color
to make it looks attractive therefore I want to make it only using one color that
is not a bright color such as black or something like dark purple. The purpose
I choose the dark color is to make the pattern to look clear and want to focus
on the pattern.
The dead tree as the
pattern
We
always see batik in Malaysia use the motif of flora that is beautiful and have
many colors. Therefore I want make a little difference by use the dead tree as
my pattern because the shape of the dead tree was nice and I think why not it
be my pattern on the batik. It will give some effect that we not predict it.
PRELIMINARY
DATA
Base on my investigation, firstly I
try to make batik by using the wax and I drop randomly to the paper and then
I draw a line and some heart shape using the liquid. After that, I paint the
paper using the water color. It look very interesting the place that I put the
wax is not mix with the color same goes to the line and the shape that I make
using liquid paper. But I notice that the pattern that I make using the liquid
paper will be affected when I paint using the water color.
After that I do another experiment
by using the wax and the water color. First I paint the paper and then I drop
the wax randomly at the paper. After the paper and the wax dried I paint the
second layer with another color and wait until it dried and then I take of the
wax that I make on the paper. It look good but I have the problem when I want
to takeoff the wax maybe because I put the wax when the paper still wet
therefor when I want to take it off it become difficult and stick to the paper.
Next I make batik using the same material
but this time I not use the hot wax. I make the words using the candle by
scratch it on the paper and using the liquid paper to make another words. After
all finish lastly I paint water color on it and all the words come out but for
the liquid paper some part of the word cannot see clearly because it affected
by water color. For this experiment I use the yellow and red color it look more
attractive because I use the warm color.
When I do some research about batik
I see there is someone makes batik using water color and marker pen so decide
to try making batik using that method. Because batik usually has many color so
I put 3 colors on the paper and then I mix it using the water. After the paper
are dried I start draw a pattern on the paper using the marker pen. It look too
simple but I love the result of the mix color it look nice.
After
that I think I want to try making batik using the tissue paper. I try using the
same material it is the wax and the liquid paper. I feel that it is difficult
to make batik on the tissue paper by using the liquid paper because the liquid paper
is sharp. I make the pattern of the butterfly and something like a plant on the
tissue paper after that I color it using the water color. The feel when I make
this experiment is the same feel when you make the real batik on the fabric.
After that I make the latter A on the tissue paper but this time I using the
wax to make it. It look nice and the best part is the wax are not seen compare
to the liquid paper, we can see the mark left by liquid paper and it also not
smooth on the tissue paper.
Lastly
I do the experiment using the paper but this time I use only one color on the
batik and using the wax to make the pattern. The experiment looks nice so I
decided to use only one color for my batik.
EXPERIMENTAL
DESIGN AND METHODS
Experiment was the important part of
the design, from the experiment we know the problem and the reason of something
that we did. Experiment also the concrete evident that we should have when we
want to design something. For my project work I want to make batik using the
paper, liquid paper and water color.
As we know that batik usually
contain many color and it look very nice with the organic and geometrical
motif. But for my batik I want to make some change, I want to make batik using
one color and using paper. I also want to make the pattern of my batik by using
the motif of the dead tree. First I need to experiment on the how to use the
liquid paper to make the thick and thin line? And also I need to know how to
hold the liquid paper to make the pattern easy to draw? From this experiment I
know when we want to make a thick line we must hold the liquid paper and press
it after that we need to move it slower the slower you move the thicker line
you will get. But when you want to make the thin line you must press the liquid
paper slowly and move it faster it will give you a thin and smooth line. I also
learn on how to hold the liquid paper to get the line and shape that we want,
for example if you want to make the bold line you must hold the liquid paper on
90 degree it will give you a nice bold line. But if you want to make the sharp
line you must hold the liquid paper on 45 degree.
I also want to know which is better
either to use the liquid paper or the correction tape therefore I make the
experiment using this two thing. From the experiment I decide to use the liquid
paper. Why I choose the liquid paper not the correction tape? First, when you
using the liquid paper it will become easier to make or to draw a pattern on
the paper because it is a liquid we can control it and will give a nice line that you want. But if you use the correction tape it will be difficult
to control it. The liquid paper is suitable to make the pattern of the organic
motif but if you want to make the geometrical motif is better to use the
correction tape.
I also experiment on the color. I want
to make my batik using only one color and the color should not a bright color. Therefore
I use the dark color such as black, dark blue, dark brown and more. After I do
the experiment I like my batik in green color it look natural and suitable with
the pattern that I make. I make the tone color at the bottom and the top are
dark and the middle of the batik I make it look lighter. It looks more interesting.
For the pattern of my batik I choose
to make the pattern of the dead tree. Why I choose this pattern? The reason I choose
this pattern because we only see the pattern of the beautiful of the flower so I
want to make some different by using the dead tree pattern.
