Abstract:

India is a land of rich cultural heritage, which is enriched by countless forms of folk arts as well. These folk art forms are an embodiment of the diverse cultures within the country and each one is different and unique from the rest. Every Indian state has its own folk art form, in the Kumaon region of Uttarkahnd Aipan is one of the traditional art (painting form) which has great social, cultural and religious significance. The economic impact of the 2020 Corona virus pandemic in India has been largely disruptive. India's growth in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2020 went down to 3.1% according to the Ministry of Statistics. Covid crisis has shown that there are many ways in which some degree of self-reliance should be supported and expanded. Aipan folk is one of such kind, which has the potential of successfully engaging the migrants. In the present study existing traditional designs of Aipan were collected and then adapted using corel draw for printing techniques and embroidery stitches so as to use them in different arrangements on articles like bags, cushion covers, stoles and shrugs. The prepared adapted designs were evaluated by judges, to find out the suitability of the developed designs for printing techniques and embroidery stitches. The blend of Aipan design with printing provided an imaginative and modern collection to the people who want to retain their tradition with minute modernization.
