Muestras textiles para indumentaria inspirados en los personajes de la Semana Santa en el Ecuador.

Abstract

The present study was carried out to disseminate the Ecuadorian cultural identity of Holy Week through textile sample creation for clothing inspired by its characters. The methodology included Bruce Archer's method, divided into three stages, characterized by a focus on the design process instead of the final product. To start from an analytical stage which consisted of an extensive bibliographic compilation, ordering, evaluation, and analysis. The creative stage covered the entire process from the formulation of the ideas to their execution; finally, the executive stage which the final product, itself, was already obtained. The results obtained in the analytical stage. allowed us to determine that the Holy Week celebration becomes more relevant in Pichincha, Chimborazo, Tungurahua, and Azuay provinces: likewise, the ten most representative characters of this religious celebration were identified. Regarding the creative stage results, before identifying adolescents as the target audience, proceeded to create abstractions of the characters, module designs, and clothing mockups. Finally, in the executive stage, a textile sample book was prepared, which includes more than the creations inspired by Holy Week, the different types of fabric and chromatics recommended for a wide range of clothing.
