Abstract

This research is an Applied one through the researcher exhibition "the digital handicraft" Which was held at the Great Hall of Conferences, Faculty of Pharmacy, Ain Shams University, Egypt, February 13-22/2017, it included thirteen pendant handicraft pieces based on the researcher personal experiment that depended on the visual deception philosophy to formulate pendant handicrafts by using the digital art techniques.

Where The materials and technical methods that used in the handicrafts vary, and require a lot of time for implementation, as well as the time that is necessary to design the handicraft and prepare it to be proceeded , so the researcher tried to develop a way to formulate a set of handicrafts without the need to drain time and effort, through the philosophy of visual deception using the digital technology of digital photography, digital printing and photo processing program (Photoshop) ,so this research is depending on having benefit of the technical methods through digital photographing of some material technical methods, which can be used in the field of handicrafts, and applying it on the handicraft design by using the Photoshop program, then printing  them digitally and applying a set of plastic treatments, which are appropriate to the design nature , thus reducing the time , effort and saving the use of raw materials to carry out pendant handicrafts, so the problem of this research is summarized in the following questions :

Is it possible to benefit from the visual deception philosophy to formulate pendant handicrafts?
• Can the time, effort and materials be saved through using digital techniques of photography and Photoshop program to formulate pendant handicrafts?
The research aim is about having benefit from the visual deception philosophy to formulate pendant handicrafts by using the digital art techniques, the research importance appears in being one of the researches that contributes to the handicraft development, and it includes a lot of special technical methods which can be applied on handicraft materials, this research also cares about introducing a set of Photoshop techniques that can be used in the field of handicrafts . Using a variety of technical methods that can be applied to different materials, Digital photographing for a variety of  handicraft technical methods which are applied to a range of different materials , Using the Photoshop to formulate pendant handicrafts based on the philosophy of visual deception ,Using a variety of materials to develop pendant handicrafts.

This study includes theoretical framework which deals with three main themes, and experimental framework, as the following:
1. The visual Deception and visual perception, 2 . the photo processing program (Photoshop),digital printing and digital photography, 3. technical methods for various materials, and the personal experiment  which had been applied by the researcher ,and was presented through the  exhibition " the digital handicraft " , It Based on the researcher self-experiment through formulating a group of 13 pendant handicraft, which had different sizes, by using the techniques of (Photoshop) ,digital printing, digital photography of the raw materials technical methods, the researcher chose canvas to print the pendant handicraft designs and its photographed technical methods on it, then the raw materials were added and a set of technical methods were implemented on the canvas according to the prepared design, which were very similar to the printed ones on the canvas , such as (unloading, embroidery, pasting) through the following steps :

1. Digital photographing for a variety of technical methods for various materials. 2 Using the digital photos of the technical methods according to the nature of the raw material which had been used in each pendant handicraft by using the Photoshop techniques to prepare it for printing and implementation of the pendant handicraft.3 using canvas as it is suitable for digital printing, and allows to make materials combination, it also gives possibility of making a set of plastic and technical treatments on it .

4 Adding suitable materials and technical methods for each printed material in the design, to develop pendant handicrafts based on the philosophy of visual deception through what was printed of the technical methods and what was actually implemented and added,then the results and recommendations are presented followed by references.

Keywords: visual deception philosophy, design, digital handicraft, personal experiment, digital art techniques.
