4. Classification of Motif: 1 . GEOMETRIC MOTIF These motifs include lines in various forms, such as vertical, horizontal, diagonal and curved. They form fabric designs, such as stripes, plaids, checks and circles and their associated designs .

5. 2. REALISTIC OR NATURAL MOTIF Natural motifs portray as replica of things as they exist in nature, such as flowers and trees, animals in jungle , human figure and other natural things. They are also called novelty patterns.

6. 3. STYLIZED MOTIF These are simplified variations of natural or man-made objects that are no longerrecognizable. Stylized motifs are obtained by rearranging the real objects either by simplifying or exaggerating to achieve the purpose of the design.

7. ABSTRACT MOTIF These are combinations of color, size and shape without relaionshipto natural or man- made objects.

8. D ecorative motifs a nd symbols and clas sification

9. What are decorative motifs? Ornamental or decorative art can usually be analysed into a number of different elements, which can be called motifs. These may often, as in textile art, be repeated many times in a pattern. Important examples in Western art include acanthus, egg and dart, and various types of scrollwork.

10. WHAT IS MOTIF? • A motif is an image, spoken or written word, sound, act, or another visual or structural device with symbolic significance. It is used to develop and inform the theme of a literary work. • It is closely related to a theme or a symbol and uses different narrative elements.It is constantly repeated to represent a dominant or central idea or theme in a work of art.It relates more to thought which is used to support a piece.

11. MOTIFS TYPICALLY ARE USED IN ONE OF THREE WAYS: • A single object appears multiple times throughout the work with most of the emphasis placed on the item. • A collection of related objects that appear multiple times to emphasize the theme.

12. CLASSIFICATION OF MOTIFS

13. GEOMETRIC MOTIFS • These motifs include lines in various forms such as, vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and curved. They form fabric designs, such as stripes, plaids, checks, and circles, and their associated designs • Geometric designs lead the eye to the design or pattern that is created by them

14. EXAMPLES OF GEOMETRIC MOTIF

15. REALISTIC MOTIFS • Natural motifs portray as direct replica of things as they exist in nature, such as flowers on trees, animals in jungle, human figure and other natural things • They are also called novelty patterns. These prints go beyond the familiar motifs of flowers, leaves, scrolls, and shapes. Instead, these designs contain unusual, but recognizable motifs.

16. STYLIZED MOTIFS • These are simplified variations of natural or man-made objects that are no longer recognizable, these motifs are full of creativity, as they are the result of a designer's interpretation of naturally existing things. Stylized motifs are obtained by rearranging the real objects either by simplifying or exaggerating them to achieve the purpose of the design.

17. EXAMPLES OF STYLIZED MOTIF

18. ABSTRACT MOTIFS In the textile business the word "abstract" is used to describe a nonobjective motif that cannot be described any other way. These are combinations of color, size, and shape without relationship to natural or man-made objects. They are full of color and interest to the fabric. Abstract implies an element of impression and a greater freedom that is found in most geometric designs.

19. EXAMPLES OF ABSTRACT MOTIF

20. SYMBOL A symbol is an object, a picture, a written word, or a sound that is used to represent something else either by resemblance, convention, or association. Symbols are more than just what they are in their essence. They have extra meaning associated with them.

23. PICTOGRAM • Pictogram is a symbol that conveys meaning through its resemblance to a physical object. of the place they are in.

24. CARTOGRAMS • Cartograms are a map on which statistical information is shown in diagrammatic form. It is also called value- area maps or anamorphic maps. Cartograms are topographical complex functions and iconic facts. Particularly It is used for thematic mapping.
