II. Explain how geometric designs enhance creativity and enrich one’s culture.
Creativity is a powerful catch phrase. Creativity is a positive word in a society constantly
aspiring to innovation and “progress”. Culture is the general expression of humanity, the
expression of its creativity. The different characteristics of a shape, colors by the combinations of
lines convey different moods and cultural meanings. Weaving products with associated
geometrical figures have real as well as symbolic value. Traditional weavers associated special
meanings with weaving designs. In Mountain Province ethnic woven products are ethnic
blankets and ethnic clothes for both male and females. Patterns in weaving are generally striped
with or without designs which are dependent on the economic status of the wearer. The most
prominent color is bright red with specks of black, white, yellow or green colors. The designs,
patterns, symbols and colors of the ethnic hand woven products generally stand for the social
standing and economic status as well as for gender distinction. In the designs indicates the
economic status of an individual. The use of technology in any aspect of our lives is important
but, we should not forget the real essence of what we are doing even if technology already
changed our way of doing it.
The different geometric motifs in the Kalinga embroideries have great role in the lives of
its people; they invoke the feelings of its people based on its cultural background and are
designed for special purpose. Kallinga embroideries are wrought with symbolism; geometric
motifs are usually related to culturally significant domains and are expressed in different designs
of a weaving. The symbolism found in every art is extraordinary rich in heritage and culture
which provide weaver’s connection to their ancestors and traditions.
