Materiais gemológicos como referência no desenvolvimento de estampas têxteis

Abstract

This research had the purpose to develop sets of textile prints from the gemological materials as a creative reference. This academic study remained theoretical emphasis on Surface Design and investigated issues that permeate Gemology, a term used internationally to describe the science responsible for identifying, classifying and evaluating gemstones – precious stones commonly called. Part of the purpose of these investigations highlighted the applicants existing applications of these materials, particularly analyzing the incorporation of gems as a theme of creation. The practical part of the research was developed from photographic records of gemological materials found in the Rio Grande do Sul State, all prints were developed with copyright images of gems, what keeps the uniqueness of the research and guarantees exclusivity to the final results. In the course of this study aimed to explore particularly the visual potential of gemological materials, wherein this process the resulting compositions were tested on various surfaces, and inserted in the textile segment surface design through a women's swimwear collection.
