 The method of Malaysian batik making is also quite different from those of Indonesian Javanese batik. The pattern of Malaysia batik is larger and more simpler, it seldom or never uses canting to create intricate patterns and rely heavily on brush painting method to apply colours on fabrics. The colours also tend to be lighter and more vibrant than deep coloured Javanese batik.

The Harmonious Family

The elements that I have used on my batik are 3 birds, tree and red flower. The three birds is a family, they are standing on the brunch of the tree. Mother is standing on top; as father is standing on the bottom and the child is on the middle. Father is the person who has the responsible to his family in the way of money and the safety. Mother is standing on the top representing the image of the family.  She has the responsible to educate the character of her child. However, child is standing on the middle of her parents show the love and protection of her parents to her.  Bird is an animal that represents freedom. Therefore, they will usually fly away and would not care about their child’s safety after they grew up and learn how to fly. The drawing of a family bird is to represent the family love.

For the background of my batik is yellow color as it represents happiness of them. The bird father is standing on the bottom represented the responsible of a father to his family. Besides, the tree that I drew on my batik represented life. The way that human destroy nature have affect the animals as they will lost their shelter. In conclusion, we must use the right way to protect the animals.
