Abstract

This study shows how geometric patterns are used on some Kelantan and Terengganu batik sarongs. A visual research visit was made to batik makers in Kelantan and Terengganu. This study was unique because it was based on observation and had the right digital documentation for further analysis. Geometric features were mapped using recent and previous related literature and visual images. This method will help figure out how long motifs last and how they change in both states. The results showed the motifs, how the basic geometric shapes were made, and how other characters showed up in the geometric settings.
