An analysis of the critical factors affecting the continued development of fiber as an art formCromer, Bob E. January 1987 (has links)
The purpose of the study was to examine the status of contemporary fiber as an art form and to identify critical factors affecting its continued development.An extensive search of available literature was conducted. From this search, coupled with the researcher's extensive personal involvement with fiber, populations were identified and questionnaires were designed.Three pertinent but different populations, consisting of fiber artists, college/university and art school heads, and museum, gallery, and textile directors/curators were selected to receive the questionnaires. The questionnaires were designed to reflect the similarities and differences of the population.Data were treated to comparative percentages, valid percentages, cumulative percentages, frequencies, and Chi-Squares. Four major concerns were identified and discussed. They are:1. Fiber as Fine Art2. The Importance of Content and Message Orientation in Fiber3. The Problem of Plurality and Fiber4. The Need for a Critical Language Relative to FiberFindings and Conclusions1. The division between fine art and crafts still exists. Therefore, the division also exists for fiber art, which is part of the crafts discipline.2. Most individuals are not in favor of limiting the parameters of what constitutes fiber art in order to help gain a clearer understanding of what fiber art really is.3. There does not appear to be a critical language for fiber art except that which is technique, method, or materials based.4. The opinion of whether fiber art should be message or statement oriented is divided. Some were in agreement while others were not. In addition, some of the respondents answered with "sometimes."

Development of a fibre-arts design project with the elderly in the Western CapeStipp, Christel January 2009 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Fashion Design))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2009. / The focus of the Fibre-Arts Design Project (FADP) was to address issues of ageism in South
Africa, particularly focusing on addressing the elderly's socio-economic well-being in Cape
Town. This was achieved through the creation and implementation of a socially designed
programme that was specifically aimed at empowering the elderly through the implementation
of craft skills-training, as well as through the development and fabrication of a marketable
women's accessory range. The FADP, which is a socially driven, income-generating model,
improved the elderly's craft skills and revived hands-on creativity, as well as preserved and
restored some of the elderly's disused and forgotten traditional craft skills and techniques.
The success of the FADP is also attributed largely to its investment in people, whilst
simultaneously and actively promoting strategies of knowledge and skills creation as a
preferred and viable path to sustaining a community's creative and economic life. This is an
important aspect when implementing social design programmes amongst similar particular
disadvantaged communities and ensuring their sustainability.
