For this assignment, we were asked to make our own batik, and I was quite glad it was a group work. We did a bit of research and to also choose a theme for this batik project.
We short listed these:
A maze with cuddly characters
Samurai at war
Pixelated pictures
Bathroom tiles (almost similar to pixels)
But then what caught our eye was this:
It is traditional, yet has this modern twist to it. This depicted a man wearing a traditional Japanese outfit, and at the same time, he's listening to an MP3. We thought it would be fun and humorous to do.
In the end, we chose to draw Egyptian culture, applying modern elements inside it.
