The experimentation of mosaic art fusion in patchwork door curtains in Northern China / Fan Yage, Mohamed Razeef Abdul Razak and Natrina Mariane P. Toyong

This study investigated the integration of mosaic art into traditional patchwork door curtains (PDC) in northern China, a cultural artifact that plays an essential role in daily life. While existing research primarily addresses techniques, shapes, and colors of PDCs, it often lacks artistic innovation. Recognizing the visual similarities between the geometric arrangements of mosaic art and the design of patchwork curtains, this research employed computer software to apply both regular and irregular tile mosaics to PDC patterns. The findings indicate that regular shapes are more effective for enhancing the aesthetic appeal of PDCs. The objective of this study is to elevate the artistic expression of PDCs and improve the taste of life in rural northern China by incorporating mosaic imagery. This research offers practical recommendations for curtain design and sets the foundation for future studies, ultimately contributing new elements to traditional art forms and promoting artistic innovation and sustainability.
