Diseño de una colección de accesorios en paja toquilla con la aplicación de signos gráficos corporales de la nacionalidad Kichwa – Napo

Abstract

The corporal graphic signs of the Amazonian Kichwa nationality are still represented by people belonging to the nationality, although to a lesser extent due to the new interests of the current generations, each corporal sign has symbolism and brings identity to the communities. Each sign is analyzed by means of the iconological methodology of Edwin Panofsky in its three levels of study, pre iconographic, iconographic, and iconological that allows to know the meaning beyond its form, while the harmonic layout proposed by Zadir Milla allows to generate primary and secondary modules of the corporal graphics by means of the formative laws, the bipartition and tripartition of space, where there is an alternation of squares, diamonds and rectangles forming meshes, once the modules are generated together with the fundamentals of design a set of combined patterns are formed, the same that are applied in the proposals. The accessories design market has had a slight change in terms of taste and consumer preference, currently there is an inclination to help the environment even community but without neglecting the comfort as well as functionality of the accessory, that is why we develop proposals for bags and purses in toquilla straw fiber with different patterns that show the Amazonian Kichwa worldview along with aesthetic, functional and structural qualities, also the finishes and details that are made are local materials such as seeds. These proposals contribute to the revaluation of the Amazonian Kichwa culture and traditions.
