Differences between traditional and modern batik;

1. Traditional batik originated from Indonesia while traditional batik is originated from East Africa.

2. Cold glue gel is used instead of hot wax as the resistance.

3. Modern batik applies dark to light colours while traditional batik applies light to dark colours.

4. For modern batik, diluted dyes are applied onto the fabric using paint brushes instead of dipping the whole fabric into the dye like how traditional batik does.

5. The result of a modern batik is that the images have a more dramatic enhanced tonality, shading and depth than traditional batik.

6. The result of traditional batik is that the image is more detailed and consists of many various patterns and designs than modern batik.
