Ilustraciones basadas en figuras cerámicas precolombinas Jama Coaque aplicadas a una línea de camisetas juveniles.

Abstract

The aim of this research was to create illustrations based on Jama-Coaque anthropomorphic ceramic figures applied to a line of youth T-shirts, in order to visually enhance the culture, adapting a creative process that takes advantage of and extracts original resources provided by the anthropomorphic ceramic figures. For the analysis we have chosen the anthropomorphic ceramic pieces that are inside the museum "El Alabado de la ciudad de Quito", which has a range of 8 anthropomorphic pieces. By observing photographs of a specific group of eight anthropomorphic pieces related to the Jama-Coaque culture, it was possible to identify certain patterns that are repeated in several of them, this means that the craftsmen who made these ceramic figures had as a reference certain shapes that stylized the figures and gave them a style that made them different from the others. It is concluded that the anthropomorphic ceramic figures of the Jama-Coaque culture were organic compositions that have certain details of structuring their compositional elements such as the shape of their eyes, the positions of their hands, always pointing up or down, which represented the hierarchy and contact with the metaphysical world. It is recommended to have a large amount of graphic information from different primary or secondary sources, in order to find images or photographs in which can be observed details of shapes, colors and textures.
