dc.description.abstractModern and traditional Arts have established a developmental relationship in the history of creativity of art forms, with effect from the early man, in its quest for survival. The traditional arts are fading away but fewhave been translated into modern usage and the act of inculcating the concept from one generation to the other is diminishing. Some of the design experts, (lords or kings) of the traditional designs lacked that creativity of extending the art to other concept of contemporary modern designs. The focus of this study is to extract, experiment, incorporate integrate and adapt some selected Zaria traditional walldecorative motifs/symbols for the production of ceramic wall tiles. The study also embarked upon series of studio experiments at enhancing clay body that best fit into the production of the tiles on which the decorations were made. Again the study discusses the findings base on the results of the clay body experimented upon, plasticity test, shrinkage tests, glazing and firing,calculations for compressive strength and modulus of rupture of the tiles. The study concludes that tiles are used virtually everywhere. In homes, public places, schools, hospitals, etc all over the world and also tiles generally serve as a protection over dirty. The study finally made recommendation and suggestion for further research into the course of study.en_US
