For this project, we were given the honor to have workshops with two designers from Ruzz Gahara. The artists presented their batik work in their line and gave up tips and rules in batik making. They also presented their different lines which revolved around seasons and how they make these batik patterns to appeal to their audience. We were given the task of creating a design that we would later trace onto with wax on top of a cloth. In the middle of my batik, I decided to copy my central design three times, and then using the designers pre made stamps to make the border of the batik.
I really enjoyed this project because, again, it delved into my cultural background of being Malaysian and its' values. The work took a very long time and it was sometimes hard to work with because we did not have a hard surface under our batiks to paint on. Thus the ink would run to a place we didn't want it to. However, I real liked this project and it allowed me to explore my color range [since I sully use dark or cool colors].
