K Gomathi, KV Arunkumar and Ponsabareeswar

Abstract Inspiration is that transcendent moment where energy, passion, motivation, creativity, and are immersed in our senses. Designs are of great importance when it comes to giving an enchanting and intriguing look to textile products. Silambam fight is one such art. This Martial art origin from Tami Nadu in South India. There are many different Play Variations and poses used in Silambam. Computer-aided design (CAD) is a computer technology that designs a product and documents the design's process. Screen printing is the most flexible printing process and it is a widely followed method as it is simple and cost-effective. In this study Geometric and Abstract patterns are applied to the theme silambam poses using CorelDraw and the designs are applied on a T-shirt by screen printing technique. Keywords: Inspiration, silampam, design, computer-aided design, screen printing Introduction Inspiration is a feeling that occurs almost by accident. However, as the start of that dictionary definition states, inspiration is a process. We become mentally stimulated (inspired) to do something. For those who want to feel inspired, the key is to learn how to create an inspired state when we need to. There is no single, set way to make every person feel inspired. That's because we are all different and are inspired by different things. A design is a plan or specification for the construction of an object or system or the implementation of an activity or process, or the result of that plan or specification in the form of a prototype, product, or process. The verb to design expresses the process of developing a design. A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information. A mind map is hierarchical and shows relationships among pieces of the whole. It is often created around a single concept, drawn as an image in the center of a blank page, to which associated representations of ideas such as images, words, and parts of words are added. Major ideas are connected directly to the central concept, and other ideas branch out from those major ideas. India is a big nation. We are proud of our country for giving birth to kinds of arts. Silambam fight is one such art. This Martial art origin from Tami Nadu in South India. Tamil Nadu has a rich tradition and heritage which spans a period of over three thousand years. So they have their Distinct. Bravery, games, sports, art, architecture, dance, etc. Corel draw is an intuitive graphics design application that gives designers an enjoyable work experience. It is a wonderful drawing tool, enabling anyone to create vector-based art easily. It comes completed with a host of drawing tools and effects, allowing to create anything from simple graphics and headlines to sophisticated artwork and technical drawing Screen printing is the most flexible printing process and it is a widely followed method as it is simple and cost-effective. It is also known as silkscreen, serigraphy, and serigraph printing. This printing technique uses a woven mesh to support an ink-blocking stencil and it gives the appearance of cleaner and brighter colors. The motivation behind this research work is, to develop Textile prints from Silambam poses. 2. Methodology 2.1 Selection of Silambam Poses Silambam is one of the Old Martial Art. The subjects of the experimental group practiced the following skills namely guru vanakkam, Kuthuvarisai, holding the stick (grip), basic foot

movements (lessons I, II without a stick), basic foot movements (I, II lesson with stick), basic boat swing (forward & reverse), Soruvu, strike, kathiri, Mirattal, pakual, pammal, udaan, padaiveechu, rotation above the head (thalai sutru), four house (Kaaladi varisa), naaladai varisai with stick four direction, double stick (erattai Kambu veechu) pathukkal, thattu varisai. 2.2 Development of Design Twenty designs for t-shirts were created using CorelDraw software. Different Geometric and Abstract designs were created based on the original silambam poses for t-shirts with chest print. Silambam poses were developed into Geometric and Abstract designs with different patterns to create interest and variety to the design. 2.3 Selection of Software CorelDraw is an impressive collection of powerful designs software that can tackle all sorts of design jobs. CorelDraw is an intuitive graphics design application that gives designers an enjoyable work experience. The program is built to meet the demands of today’s graphics professionals. Whether work in advertising, printing, publishing, sign making, engraving, or manufacturing, CorelDraw tools create and creative vector illustrations and professional-looking page layouts. Geometric and Abstract designs were developed based on the silambam poses using CorelDraw software. Publishing, sign making, engraving, or manufacturing, CorelDraw tools create and creative vector illustrations and professional-looking page layouts. 2.4 Creation of Design The twenty design was developed for t-shirts. These designs were displayed to a panel of fifty judges for visual evolutional

and six best designs were selected through subjective evaluation method. The following criteria such as selection of silambam poses, General appearance of the design for t-shirt, clarity of the design, and suitability of design were chosen for rating the printing articles. The date under each category was ranked on a rating scale that has good, fair, and poor. 2.5 Survey The investigator surveyed the preference of designs. The survey was carried out from hundred college students in the department of Costume Design and Fashion. The collected data were consolidated and analyzed systematically. 2.6 Evaluation of Design The survey was carried out for the preference of designs. The collected data were consolidated and analyzed systematically. Based on the results, the top four designs were selected for printing. The result of the survey is presented under the chapter result and discussion. 2.7 Implementation of Selected Design by Using Screen Printing Screen printing is a method in which ink is squeezed through a fine mesh screen onto a surface, leaving an area that is masked off unprinted. The result is a pattern of inked and blank shapes. The screen is very fine, so the link goes on to the paper in a very solid, strong block, with the edges of the pattern clear and crisp. Considering the effectiveness of screen printing, the investigator has chosen the screen printing method to apply to create designs on T-Shirt. The screen was prepared with the help of a Fine drop screen maker, Tirupur.

4. Conclusion In this study, the investigator has studied the silambam of Tamilnadu. Finally, 10 silambam poses were developed in the selected geometric and abstract designs. A survey was taken among 50 students from the Department of costume design and fashion for the preference of the designs. The selected designs were printed on the cotton t-shirt using the screen printing technique. Six screens were developed for the study. For the evaluation of overall appearance, 98% of the respondents preferred the sample SPA-3, SPG-3, SPA-4, and SPG-9. For the appearance of Constructed garments, 80% of the respondents preferred the sample SPA-3, followed by SPG-3, SPA-4, and SPG-9. The cost of printing is highly flexible to the consumers. Most teenage boys prefer printing motifs for attire. These types of printing designs can be used for the mass production of ready-made garments. 5. References 1. http://martial-arts-of-tamil-
