Analiza simetrije u šarama makedonske nošnje

Abstract

Ornaments are a particularly important aspect in textile design, influencing the visual and aesthetic value of textile products. They are part of every culture in the world. Decorative ornaments applied in Macedonian costumes and textiles combine the tradition and techniques of manufacturing and decoration, which have been developed and passed down from generation to generation. This work investigates the ornaments in Macedonian folk costumes and textiles from the aspect of applied symmetrical operations. A number of traditional textiles with different classes of motifs, borders and two-dimensional patterns were analysed. In the era of globalizations of textile trends and designs, ornaments remain an important aspect offering creativity and innovation in design. They are a fundamental part of the textile industry continually developing onto new means of expression and functionality.
