SYMMETRY CLASSIFICATION OF THE DECORATING PATTERNS OF FABRICS IN GREECE

Abstract

The systematic science is based on the categorization of determined repeated units. These units give us the possibility of systematic observation of phenomena and description of their regularity. Many tried they interpret the particularities of these units, as code information or indicators of national identity. The categorization of symmetry, regarding to the placement of patterns more generally, leads in repeated description. It is realized that the patterns, are placed in not accidental forms, from the artists of concrete cultural unit. It is an important tool, with regard to in the organization and in the objective presentation of these cultural particularities. In the present statement become study and classification of textile patterns of various geographic regions of Greece, via their symmetric provisions. The comparison of results provides precious material that concerns the cultural influences that accept the various patterns per region. As well as from the historical and geographic data that practice influence in each region. The contact of the local population with populations outside the borders of Greece, resulted in the increase of the imagination and this is reflected directly in the symmetries used, as the decorative elements are met represent a considerable complication. The colors, the designs, the motifs are used at Epirus could be characterized as Doric, contrary to the stitches of the islands that someone would think that they were reflect their daily life, as they are simpler and more playful.
