Abstract

Art is being relished by many individuals for a lot of purposes. Irrespective of the reasons, one aspect that art does is the broadening of human communal visual languages. The earliest artistic purpose was possibly ceremonial or as a medium for religious rituals. Art can also act as a memorialisation of momentous events. Besides being gratifying to the eyes as a creation of something beautiful and that expresses deep emotions, art can be a method of documenting visual information and telling stories. As such, batik which has been a traditional art has now become a part of the modern Malaysian art scene that gives different inspirations in painter's soul and art lover. Batik in visual art has the potential to be one of the elements that represents Malaysia. Thus this paper‘s aims is to explore the development of Malaysian batik in visual art using the theory of the five principles aesthetic philosophy that is proposed by Zakaria Ali.
