Inspiration is one of the important parts of any design process. I have analysed chittara paintings in various ways based on the Design Concept that I have learned in the past.
MATERIAL CULTURE
Material culture is the physical evidence of a culture in the objects architecture that deewaru people made. It tells us the story of the Deewaru people and their possession, surroundings, beliefs, etc.
All aspects related to their material culture can be seen represented in the paintings. Deewaru people use lot of materials for cultivation like Ladder, Merakoolu (Framing tool), Aladha Heedi ( Framing Tool), Noga (Framing tool), Negilu (plough), Hartheguntey (weed tool), Bamboo, Wood. etc
These tools consumed from the modern society, and few of them are developed by themselves, according to their needs, all are represented in their art.
A......Tools Analysis :-
Deewaru people used very few tools to create a paintings. I think on that time they were unknown about various tools & Techniques like, color making, use of chemicals and different types of brush for paintings. but they still manage to use rice flour, coconut leaves. They use natural colour which are prodeced from mud, stone, and other natural resources. But now a days chittara mainly done on handmade paper with ink, pen and also in other medium.B... Technique Analysis:-
1. Smooth finish:- Chittara paintings have smooth finish due to use of ink pen, but on innitial time they were not smoothy due to use of straw and wood.
There was no Impasto ( thickly applied paint)
2. I can compare chittara paintings with Minimalism Art movement, as there is lots of straight lines, cross hatching, simplicity.
C.... Context :-
Looking at the Image, the artist always tries to convey the social life on daily bases and different ceromonie in a contextual style of their tradition. ( their belives on natural resources, their participation in culture, and the art say about the period of colonial)
