TRANSFROMTION OF TRADITIONAL MADHUBANI PAINTING MOTIFS USING CAD FOR WOVEN JACQUARD SARI DESIGNING

Abstract

Traditional painting is one of the oldest and beautiful ways of surface ornamentation. The revival of traditional painting needs and aspirations
of future citizens of the world, valuing the tradition. Madhubani painting is the exploration of the relationship between nature, culture and human
psyche. Therefore, the present study on transformation of Madhubani traditional painting motifs for sari design was conducted to explore the
possibility to enhance creativity by traditional painting motifs. Selected geometrical, floral, animal and bird Madhubani motifs were converted
into simulations. Variety of design was created using CAD employing design tools which aided creativity and made the process more efficient. It
was found that transformation of Madhubani traditional painting motifs as contemporary designs for sari simulation has enhanced the range of
designing and the same was converted to jacquard woven sari. Developed sari simulation and woven jacquard sari were highly acceptable by
respondents in terms of created designs, design placements, colour ways, CAD designing and overall appearance. Respondents highly
appreciated the developed new simulation sari designs using the traditional Madhubani motifs.
