Chinese Embroidery Motifs

Book Description
China has a long history in fabric production, including those made of silk, wool and cotton, to name a few. With the rise and fall of the Chinese dynasties, knitting and embroidery patterns evidently evolved to reflect the times in which they were created. The embroidered patterns featured in this book are mainly folk designs with primary themes of flowers, birds, as well as images of people. To give these special patterns contemporary relevance, the patterns have been adapted, recreated and refined with Adobe Illustrator and kept in a vector format, and can be easily used by designers of any discipline, be it fashion, textile, graphic or interior design.
Early Chinese Art and Its Possible Influence in the Pacific Basin: Asia

Category : Architecture

Pages : 585
Book Description
Symbol, Pattern and Symmetry: The Cultural Significance of Structure investigates how pattern and symbol has functioned in visual arts, exploring how connections and comparisons in geometrical pattern can be made across different cultures and how the significance of these designs has influenced craft throughout history. The book features illustrative examples of symbol and pattern from a wide range of historical and cultural contexts, from Byzantine, Persian and Assyrian design, to case studies of Japanese and Chinese patterns. Looking at each culture's specific craft style, Hann shows how the visual arts are underpinned with a strict geometric structure, and argues that understanding these underlying structures enables us to classify and compare data from across cultures and historical periods. Richly illustrated with both colour and black and white images, and with clear, original commentary, the book enables students, practitioners, teachers and researchers to explore the historical and cultural significance of symbol and pattern in craft and design, ultimately displaying how a geometrical dialogue in design can be established through history and culture.
