Copo americano: pesquisa e desenvolvimento de estampa

Abstract

The main proposition of this undergraduate thesis is the presentation of the development process and creation of two prints, referenced in the figure of the American glass, which is understood as an icon of Brazil. The history of this object is contextualized and its presence in Brazilian culture is mapped, from advertising to artistic means. I justify how it is characterized as a representative icon of the country, I report the entire semantic and graphic construction of the two developed prints, and present the practical results, from the application of the arts on textile surface, through three different printing techniques. To this end, I was based on the study of Cristina Carnelos on the American cup, scientific material found on the subject, and revisited authors with which I had contact through graduation, which deal with the textile surface design and its techniques and processes; among other interdisciplinary reference parameters.
