A Study of the Fractal Design of Decorative Patterns in Chaoshan Drawnwork: An Illustration of the Julia Set

Published: 20 October 2023 Publication History

Abstract

Chaoshan Drawnwork is a form of intangible cultural heritage, and the industrialization of the 1990s has contributed to a decline in the number of practitioners and a shortage of pattern designers. This study proposes a fractal design model for decorative patterns of Chaoshan drawnwork based on the Julia set in order to provide a pattern design that conforms to contemporary aesthetics and actualize the digitization of Chaoshan drawnwork. The design of the fractal pattern was completed by applying the fractal art software UF6 to the design of fractal patterns, following the combination of categories and forms with traditional Chaoshan drawnwork patterns. Existing industry employees were asked to evaluate the model from a production standpoint, and a questionnaire survey of the model's output results for the youth group was conducted along four dimensions: ethnicity, innovation, artistry, and popularity. The results indicate that it is possible to incorporate fractals into Chaoshan drawnwork, and that fractal design can be used to expand the pattern material. The youth group would like to integrate the fractal pattern as a partial decoration on their daily products. In production, the complexity of the fractal pattern should be considered or simplified in accordance with the varying requirements of weaving and printing in order to serve as a benchmark for the innovative design of arts and crafts.
