Sistema Iconográfico de los Rasgos Representativos de la Parroquia Cacha.

Abstract

This research is the creation of an iconographic system of the most representative features of Cacha parish of Canton Riobamba. For the creation of iconographic matrix the three main communities with the most representative symbols were chosen. The minimalist style and use of primary colors were applied using the digital tools: Adobe illustrator and Photoshop. Stamping system was developed in nylon textile and icons were embroidered at the edge of the blouses. The methods applied are: inductive and historical, and these methods were used in the research: observation and surveys. The research was applied to a sample of 67 people and it was determined that 68% of the population recognizes an icon of the community, and 85% of people consider appropriate to use of these textiles for women`s clothing, because it is considered very favorable due to most of indigenous youth do not use traditional clothing, for that reason this is a great help to preserve their identity. With these results we conclude that the iconographic system is an essential aid to the recognition of cultural which is reflected in their clothing and customs. It is recommended to apply different textiles according to location and it serves as an income and to avoid migration from their homeland..
