Description
Summary:Songket is an aesthetics fabric which is showed from the complexity of songket patterns which encourage the Malay weavers to be more patient, diligent, and creative in ideas and furthermore, becoming excellent in mathematics. Songket and mathematics cannot be separated as it is needed in all the processes as to produce the beautiful results of songket patterns. This research is about the analysis of Malaysian songket motifs through the technique of transformation or symmetry operation group patterns with the combination of mathematical concepts which are two-dimensional plane method which are the frieze patterns groups and wallpaper patterns groups and also from visual art concept through structural designs technique. This research is also based on the classification of Malaysian songket patterns which are from four main structure of songket which are badan kain, kepalakain and pengapitkain, kaki kain and tepikain of sarong and kainlepas / selendang (shawl), where these are based on their geometric symmetries on the plane.
