Abstract

The objective of this present project was to capture the original clothing of the indigenous ethnic groups of the female clothing of the Riobamba canton with the techniques of paper cut, paper sculpture, and filigree. Information was collected through a 40-year-old person from each of the towns of Licto, Pungalá, Calpi, Quimiag and Cacha belonging to the canton Riobamba, who contributed information on the traditional clothing of ancient times, which allowed documenting by means of the observation cards a total of 20 costumes, dividing them into 4 costumes of each town for female people such as: single, married, widows and girlfriends. For each town information was found through some of the books that are documented in the libraries of the city of Riobamba. For this, the basic methodology of Horst Rittel was applied, which allows the determination of the different costumes of the aforementioned peoples in a simpler and more orderly manner. To obtain information on the different clothes, photographs of each of them were made, explaining in detail the name, material, texture, shape, size, and color. Once the information was collected and the interview was carried out, the graphic sample of each of the towns with their respective clothing was made, obtaining the final objective, the paper sculpture was used to demonstrate to the woman, the paper cut to trace each piece of clothing and filigree for the development of the accessories of the villages. It is recommended to use this research to have knowledge about each of the traditions regarding the clothing of each village, to maintain the tradition of the peoples through time.
