The correct answer is Weld; Drying and Grinding. Weld, a plant used for its yellow dye, undergoes a fermentation process involving drying and grinding the plant material before extracting the color. This process contributes to the vibrancy and permanence of the yellow hue in fabric painting.
The correct answer is Wax Batik. Wax Batik is a modern variation of traditional batik, where molten beeswax is applied to fabric, creating a resist. The fabric is then dyed, and the wax is removed through boiling, resulting in unique and detailed patterns.
The correct answer is Tambour Beading; Enhancing Sheer Fabrics. Tambour beading involved the use of a hooked needle to create small loops, through which beads and sequins were threaded onto sheer fabrics. This technique added a layer of opulence and intricate detail to Victorian fashion, particularly in evening gowns and accessories.
The correct answer is Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo da Vinci, renowned for his versatile talents, contributed to fabric painting by designing tapestries, reflecting the Renaissance ideal of integrating fine art with textile arts for both practical and decorative purposes.
The correct answer is Pole wrapping and pleating. Arashi Shibori involves wrapping fabric around a pole at an angle, resulting in diagonal pleats. The dye penetrates the fabric unevenly due to the compression, creating a dynamic and swirling pattern reminiscent of rain falling (Arashi means storm in Japanese).
The correct answer is Bamboo; Freehand and Block-printed. The "kalam" in Kalamkari is typically made from bamboo. Srikalahasti Kalamkari features freehand drawing and intricate details, while Machilipatnam Kalamkari utilizes woodblocks for a block-printed style.
The correct answer is Art Nouveau. The Serti technique, rooted in the Art Nouveau movement, involves outlining designs on silk with gutta (a resist substance), creating a barrier for the dye. This method differs from traditional silk painting as it emphasizes controlled lines and shapes, akin to stained glass.
