Diseño de un catálogo de los íconos gráficos presentes en los textiles del pueblo Chibuleo del cantón Ambato.

Abstract

The objective was to analyze the iconography morphology to elaborate the catalog with the icons in the textiles of the Chibuleo people. We worked with two currently recognized craftsmen from the San Francisco de Chibuleo community who contributed important information about the manufacture to observe the elaboration, and record through photographs the iconography of the chumbis. To develop the morphological analysis, the Andean Design method was methodologically followed, which begins with choosing the manager motif that corresponds to the most representative graphic icons of the town, which will be exhibited in the catalog. A total of 96 iconographies was obtained; dismissing those repeated, based on the comparison technique. Finally, 23 iconographies belonging to Chibuleo chumbis were selected. With these results a digital catalog was developed, it has twenty-three ichnographic classified as zoomorphic animal figures, phytomorphs plant or vegetable figures, anthropomorphic figures with human features, worldview beliefs or values of the people. It is concluded that this digital catalog will help promote culture and strengthen the iconological knowledge of the San Francisco community; it is recommended to disseminate the catalog to preserve and publicize its culture and the textile activity that the town develops at a national level.
