grasses, osiers, bamboo, and rushes, or from plastic or

are called baskets.

2. Conventional design/stylized design

 Stylized motifs do not look like
pictures of natural objects;
usually the lines are simplified
and conventionalized,
sometimes they are distorted.

 In modern art, the applications of

4. Geometric
design:
 Geometric
motifs are
based on the
pure forms of
the circle,
rectangle,
triangle, stripes, dots, checks,
plaids etc, although endless
variations and combinations of
them are used to create designs.
(Fig 1.5)
 Their beauty is derived from
either elegance of proportions or
their arrangement in relation to
other shapes in a composition.
Geometric designs are widely
used in crockeries, floor
coverings, wall papers, furnishing
items, wall hangings, picture etc.
 Modern designers prefer
geometric motifs in the small
amount of pattern that they use.
Design, therefore, may depend on the available fibers, or,
conversely, to produce a particular design, appropriate fibers
need to be purchased or found. Fibers are round, flexible, or
flat. Round rods are usually woven among other round rods.
Similarly, flat strips can be woven together or twisted around
stiff rods. Grasses, crushed stems, or other flexible fibers are
wrapped around each other to form a coil then the coil is
stitched to itself in a rising spiral to form the basket sides. The
designer, therefore, has determined what fibers are available
and plans the basket accordingly.
Designs can be based on existing baskets, photos of historic
types, a particular purpose or use for the basket, or a size and
shape required for practical uses or desired for decorative
ones. Another aspect of design is any pattern or coloration that
may be worked into the shape of the basket. Again, materials,
their natural colors, and their susceptibility to dyeing need to
be considered.

Q4 Week 2. Get the measurement of the product to be
made.
“Measurement” is the act of determining a
target's size, length, weight, capacity, or other
aspect.
Measurement is finding a number that shows the
size or amount of something.
There are two main "Systems of
Measurement": Metric and US Standard.
MEASUREMENT GUIDE
We list the basket measurements on each product page. Please
understand that baskets are hand-woven from natural material
and the dimensions will vary slightly from basket to basket
(typically not more than 1/2" to 3/4" on smaller items and
possibly 1" or more on larger items).
The picture shows how to measures the baskets.
 Length is always given for the longest
side of the basket

measurement, which means we can only use it to
measure the distance separating two points.
- Is the measurement of distance. It
is usually the longer of two distances of an
object, the other being the Width.
 Width is always given for the shorter side of the basket.
- Is the distance from side to side.
 Height is always measured from the bottom of the basket to
the top.
The measurement from vertical distance
Length: If you choose to use the word length, it should
refer to the longest dimension of the rectangle. Think of
how you would describe the distance along a road: it is
the long distance, the length of the road. (The
words along, long, and length are all related.)
Width: The distance across the road tells how wide the
road is from one side to the other. That is the width of the
road. (The words wide and width are related, too.)
When a rectangle is drawn “slanted” on the page, like
this, it is usually clearest to label the long side “length”
and the other side “width,” as if you were labeling a road.
 Slanted rectangle.

Height: When a rectangle is drawn with horizontal and

vertical sides, the word height makes it clear which
dimension is meant; height labels how high (how tall) the
rectangle is. That makes it easy to indicate the other
dimension—how wide the rectangle is from side to side—
by using the word width. And if the side-to-side
measurement is greater than the height, calling it
the length of the rectangle is also acceptable, as it creates
no confusion.

Rectangles of various orientations.

Measure your basket from outside edge  to

outside edge.  At the top, measure length and width. 
If round, measure the diameter across the basket. 
Next, measure it’s height.  All measurements are
listed in standard form:  Length x Width x Height. 
Baskets that are sloped will have both its front height
and it back height listed.
TOOLS:

A  ruler  is a common instrument used for measuring the

length of small objects. It usually has four units of
measurement to choose from: millimeter, centimeter,
inch, and foot.
A  meterstick  is an instrument for measuring short
distances.
For short distances, the metric unit meter (m) and
the English unit yard (yd) are commonly used.
For long distances, the metric unit kilometer
(km) and the English unit mile (mi) are commonly
used.
 A push pull rule is a measuring tape that coils into a
compact case. It is used for measuring long, short,
straight lengths.
