D. Development (Time Frame: 40 minutes)
Planning the design of a basketry product depends on the available fibers. Appropriate fibers are needed to be
purchased or be found to produce a particular design. The activity below will serve as a review about your attained learning
in the topic.
Learning Task 2
Directions: Identify the kinds of fibers, basket weaving and basketry techniques in the following pictures. Choose the answer
from the word bank and write your answer in your activity notebook.

Every basket has a character that is largely determined by the kind of fiber used to make it. Designs therefore, may
depend on the available fibers, or conversely, to produce a particular design, appropriate fibers need to be purchased or
be found. Fibers may be round, flexible, or flat. Round rods are usually woven among other round rods. Similarly, flat strips
can be woven together or twisted around stiff rods. Grasses, crushed stems, or other flexible fibers are wrapped around each
other to form and then, the coil is stitched to itself in a rising spiral to form the basket sides. The designer, therefore, has to
determine what fibers are available and plan the basket accordingly.
Designs can be based on existing baskets, photos of history types, a particular purpose or use for the basket, or size
and shape required for practical uses or desired for decorative ones. Another aspect of design is any pattern or coloration that
may be worked into the shape of the basket. Again, materials, their natural color, and their susceptibility to dyeing need
to be considered.
The application of the elements of arts and principles of design in basketry is important. According to Bantang (2013),
“The art principle form follows function is key to good design.” It is also stated by Goldstein and Goldstein (1996) that there are
two kinds of design: structural and decorative. Structural design is the design made by size, form, color, and texture of an

whether it be the object itself, in space, or a drawing of that object worked out in paper. Decorative design is the surface
enrichment of the structural design.
There are four requirements to fulfill for a good structural design (Goldstein and Goldstein 1996):
1. In addition to being beautiful, it is suited to its purpose.
2. It is simple.
3. It is well-proportioned.
4. It is suited to the material of which it is made and to processes which will be followed in making it.
Aside from the four requirements to fulfill for a good structural design, Goldstein and Goldstein (1996) also emphasized that
there are considerations to be fulfilled in adding decorations.
1. Practice moderation in decoration.
2. Place decoration in structural points and aim to strengthen the shape of the object.
3. Allot background space to give an effect of simplicity and dignity to the design.
4. Cover the surface quietly (for surface patterns).
5. Study the background shapes so that it is as beautiful as the pattern to be added.
6. Use decoration that is suitable for the material and the purpose.
