Textiles cw, cultures?

Question

I have to pick a culture and gether as much visual information as i can for my textiles coursework. I'm not really sure on what sort of images to gather. I was thinking of doing Australian and African culture. Any suggestions on what to gather and what is meant but their culture?

Thanks a lot :)

Answer 1

the expression of the cultures art / sentiment  in textile design / colour . also the availability of raw materials to produce and the inter relationship of other culture in gathering / providing raw materials ( silk road from china to the middle east for example ) . the practicality of textiles with regard to climate e.g. the kaftan in Africa . textile use also in a domestic situation gives you lots to go at . etc. etc. Europe would be easier Northern Europe or Southern Europe as a comparative study with climate influences .
