Lessons from the Javanese
by Matthew B. Lamont
The word “batik” is a combination of the Javanese words “amba” meaning “to write” and “titik” which means “to dot” or “point”. Batiks date back between 1,500 to 2000 years ago. The earliest examples of this ancient craft were found in the Middle East, Central Asia, India and Egypt. The art spread from Asia to the islands of the Malay Archipelago, the Middle East and to the West. In the 17th century, the craft was introduced in Holland and in the early 20th century, Europeans and Americans rediscovered this ancient process.
Now, art schools across America have batik courses as part of their textile curricula. As an assignment in our Visual Issues class, I drew a design on a white a cotton cloth with a pencil and applied wax over the design in order to block the dye from being absorbed in these places. I painted a sunflower with red dye and the background with blue and yellow. The results were not the best, but I learned from my mistakes. In my second try, I made a composition of a Holly and cherries, with a ribbon and stars and I was very careful placing the wax.
I learned that making batik, takes many steps, time, patience and discipline.
My first try.
My second try.
