Songkhla Old Town

Songkhla Old Town

Dr. Chamaiporn Mitinunwong

Introduction

Batik creation printed with the pattern of the identity of Songkhla Old Town represented Thai people in the south living together with love and unity under the multiculturalism of art; and Thai, Chinese, and Malay cultures. Batik printing technique with natural dyes followed the concept of sustainability to reduce the use of chemicals and environmental destruction and build awareness of living with nature with creativity for the bright future of young generations in the lively environment and eco-friendly pleasant town.

Thus, the researcher used the pattern from the wooden cooking block of Sampannee with perforated lines imitating the wooden ventilators of the ancient house in the old town Chinoprotugese pattern from “Ban Nakhon Nai,” an ancient house aged 300 years, located on Culture Street, Songkhla Province for new pattern design, along with the concepts of batik creation and candle mold pumping technique to impede colors, which is a local fabric of Thai Malays in the south of Thailand for wearing when they perform religious rituals. The operation method was divided into 3 phases: Phase 1 was the work used to study the literature on the process of making Batek and cold dyeing in natural colors, Phase 2 was a metal block and technique experiment, and Phase 3 was creating works and draw conclusions The findings reveal that the first fabric: Cold dyeing from noni leaves and roots,

banana sap, and sappan heartwood created a light purple fabric with the clear printed pattern and candle lines, and The second fabric: Cold dyeing from noni leaves and roots, banana sap, and the rusty water created dark purple fabric, but the printed pattern was not as clear as the first fabric. The edge of the pattern that impeded the candle turned black due to the reaction of the rusty water to the fabric.

Conclusion

The first fabric: Cold dyeing from noni leaves and roots, banana sap, and sappan heartwood created a light purple fabric with a clear printed pattern and candle lines, of which sizes were small and could collect the details of the pattern nicely. The pattern that impeded the candle looked like marbles, obtained by squeezing the fabric while soaking.
The second fabric: Cold dyeing from noni leaves and roots, banana sap, and the rusty water created dark purple fabric, but the printed pattern was not as clear as the first fabric. The edge of the pattern that impeded the candle turned black due to the reaction of the rusty water to the fabric. Thus, The edge of the pattern at this part turned black. And the overall pattern was not as clear as the fabric that was not soaked in the rusty water.
Natural dyes created beautiful and dark colors, particularly dark red from sappan heartwood.

Objectives Aims or Purposes

To “Clean” or improve Design Thinking process to get better customer’s insights by eliminating designer’s biases.

Process or Methods

  1. Batik creation, process, technique, and printing with the metal block were studied.
  2. Natural dyes from plants and cold dyeing techniques were studied.
  3. Trial: The fabrics were printed with the metal block.
  4. Trial: Natural dyes of noni leaves and roots, banana sap, and sappan heartwood
  5. The work was created and spread.

I am MINE

<span data-metadata=""><span data-buffer="">I am MINE

Asst.Prof Dr. Arttawut Changvittaya

Introduction

The most well-known Design Thinking process was developed by Stanford d. School, an improved version of the Harvard Design Thinking model, which will be referred to hereafter. The first step of Design Thinking process is “Empathy” or the process truly relating to audiences’ minds to comprehend and identify their pain points.

The Linear 5 steps process of Design Thinking has been used for the past 14 years without being challenged. This year symposium’s topic is “Clean Design”, contrarywise, has the process that we have been using to create those designs been “Cleaned”. In other words,

every product, design or process needs to be improved, any good model needs continuous improvement.

As a Designer, Professor and Academic specialist of Design Thinking, I had the opportunities to vastly put the practice of this model in real use, with success, among Education, Government and Private sectors. Therefore, I would like to be the first to challenge to “Clean” the Design Thinking process or advance it to make it more practical and applicable to Thai people.

From personal experiences, the best method to initiate “Empathy” is not to look at the customer but the first step should be to look or empathize with yourself, “ME”. Why “ME”? Empathizing with yourself can help you acknowledge your own biases and preferences. Designers usually create products from their own preferences, it is essential to “Clean” yourself and your mindset, with a “Clean ME” you can fairly empathize with your customers.

        In conclusion, this artwork will emphasize on Cleaning “ME” to improve and produce better designs and products for others. Thai language has been chosen to create this artwork, even though this is an international symposium, most of the audience and stakeholders who will be viewing this exhibition are Thai. I would like to stress the importance and communicate to Thai designers to “let go of biases”. To Clean “Me”. Lastly, I hope that this artwork will be a reminder for designers to always question themselves when creating a product for customers, is this for “ME”?

Conclusion

The research project entitled “The process of creating conceptual art through the
photography.” had been studied and ascertained by the researcher from sorts of information to
analyze and find ways to create photography and including creating new forms from the scope
of content and social issues that have arisen from the past to the present. This visualization process has invited new interpretations of the concept of photography to be a communication tool that expresses thoughts upon problems occurring in society through language and the artistic symbols hidden in photography. The artistic tactics in this work have encouraged viewers
to watch, question, and find out the meaning in their perspectives.

Objectives Aims or Purposes

To “Clean” or improve Design Thinking process to get better customer’s insights by eliminating designer’s biases.

Process or Methods

The process of this work is divided into two stages as follows: 1. In depth research of available and credible academic studies to pursue a method to improve Design Thinking process to make it more appropriate for Thai Designers. 2. Creating an art piece as a symbolic gesture to call out to Designers who use Design Thinking method to start the process by looking at “ME”.

Slumber, 2022

Slumber, 2022

Asst. Prof Anupong

Introduction

by artists as a tool to represent thoughts ideas, and reflect different views according to each era. And to study the development of the use of photography in the visual arts as well as the perception of aesthetics in contemporary photography. This boundary of change in the way we look at beauty is known as the ” turning point of aesthetics”. Artist Ana Mendieta created the series “Untitled” in 1972. The work’s appearance showed the artist’s image where the face was pressed against the plane of the mirror in different perspectives to arouse and reflect the suffering of the body as a female status. Mendieta’s face is distorted in varied images, just like expressing thoughts through physical photography that oppose and deny others who gaze and judge themselves.

Conceptual Photography was defined after the 1960s from the formation of a group of artists to create artworks that emphasized and stimulated the thoughts of the audience. There was a movement of artists who created artworks called post-modern art. The artist creates thought-provoking art through events, live performances, media art, sculpture, painting, and photography as the medium by which artists express themselves. In a research study in the research project entitled “Conceptual art creation process through photography media” , the study of photography in the context of the visual arts medium was used

The process of expressing thoughts by using the plane of the mirror and the effect that showed the distortion of the face was born from the concept of a modular identity, in terms of race, gender, and age. It is an interesting form of expression for communicating and explaining the unique symbolic connotation of artist Ana Mendieta (Moma, 2021). In addition to the study of the works of the artist. The process of research also studies the history of moving photography between 1886 to the present. Using the body as a symbolic representation of the meaning.Searching for an understanding of symbols in the history of contemporary art. The information that the researcher has studied and researched opens up new possibilities for creating 3 conceptual photography. Demonstrates the process of creation of works, the development of ideas, the form of photography, and the aesthetics that arise from the creation of thoughtful photography.

Finally, the photography is taken during the creative process of the research project. It is considered a model in the creation of conceptual photography. The process of creating photography works can take place in a variety of ways. The researchers hope that the research studies that lead to this art will benefit those interested in the visual arts and art students. And hope the art series “Slumber” will create unique styles and aesthetics in different cultural contexts and open up new opportunities in art as contemporary art.

Conclusion

The research project entitled “The process of creating conceptual art through the photography.” had been studied and ascertained by the researcher from sorts of information to analyze and find ways to create photography and including creating new forms from the scope of content and social issues that have arisen from the past to the present. This visualization process has invited new interpretations of the concept of photography to be a communication tool that expresses thoughts upon problems occurring in society through language and theartistic symbols hidden in photography. The artistic tactics in this work have encouraged viewers to watch, question, and find out the meaning in their perspectives.
