    What is It

    Brief History of Indonesian Folk Arts

    The arts of Indonesia are many,

    especially Indonesian paintings which are

    unique works of art. A long-standing tradition

    of sculpture can also be seen in the art and

    culture of Indonesia, some dating back to the

    Bronze and Iron Ages. Examples of

    sculpture illustrating the story of the life of

    Buddha can be seen in the temples of the 8th

    and the 10th century. Indonesia’s art and

    culture is also famous for their unique batik,

    ikat and songket cloth which is even popular

    today.

    Fabric Design

    Here are examples of their fabric

    Batik is an Indonesian-Malay word, believed

    to be related to the Malay word titik, which means

    “point”, “dot”, or “drop”. The “drop” action

    refers to the process of dyeing the fabric by making

    use of resist technique: covering areas of cloth with

    a dye-resistant substance (usually hot wax) to

    prevent them from absorbing colors.

    There are two categories of batik designs:

    Geometric design Free form design

  • 8

    Modern batik designs depend on the creativity of their designers. Naturalistic

    motifs like leaves, flowers, and birds have been utilized to create elaborate and

    intricate designs.

    Arts and Crafts

    Shadow puppetry is famous in Indonesia.

    Wayang, in modern Indonesian language means

    “show” o “perform”. “Kulit” means “skin”, a

    reference to the leather material that the figures are

    carved out of. Others say that wayang is also

    attributed to the Indonesian word bayang which

    means “shadow”.

    Wayang Kulit is a type of puppet shadow

    play performed around the Indo-Malayan

    archipelago, tracing its origins to India. It is derived

    from a Javanese Hindu-Buddhist tradition, where

    hand-crafted leather puppets depict epic stories of

    the Gods in shadow play.

    Sculpture

    Indonesia is known for its stone,

    bronze, and iron-age arts. The sculptures can

    be found in numerous archaeological sites in

    Sumatra, Java to Sulawesi.

    Brief History of Indonesian Folk Arts

    The culture of Malaysia draws on

    the varied cultures of the different people

    of Malaysia. The first people to live in the

    area were indigenous tribes that still

    remain; they were followed by the

    Malays, who moved there from mainland

    Asia in ancient times. Traditional

    Malaysian art is mainly centered on the

    crafts of carving, weaving, and

    silversmithing. Traditional jewelry was

    made from gold and silver adorned with

    gems, and, in East Malaysia, leather and

    beads were used to the same effect.

    Fabric Design

    In Malaysia, the states of Kelantan and Terengganu are considered the cradle

    where batik first flourished, reaching even Singapore’s shores. There are two main

    types of batik that are produced there:

    1. Hand painted – the artist uses the canting, a

    small copper container with one or more

    different-sized pipes.

    2. Block printed – is done by welding together

    strips of metal to form a metal block. The metal

    block is then dipped into molten wax and

    pressed against the fabric to make a pattern.

    Arts and Crafts

    Wau kite – in Malay is a uniquely designed

    Malaysian kite. Its wings are similar to an Arabic

    letter (pronounced “wow”). This kite-making

    tradition comes naturally to Malaysian people,

    especially in the Eastern Malayan Peninsula.

    Sculpture

    Most of Malaysia’s sculptures are relief. These

    are partially carved into another surface. These

    sculptures rely on a base to support them and are a

    combination of both three and two-dimensional art

    forms.

    Relief sculpture is practiced today by artists

    and architects, done with stone, marble, bronze, and

    many other substances. There are three main types of

    relief sculptures:

    1. Alto form – is almost completely carved from its surface, highly shaped, with

    little of the structure touching if the base or plane will remove.

    2. Bas form –These are common as wall decorations on Greek or Roman

    buildings and are the type mostly seen on the Coliseum.

    3. Sunken relief sculpture – an image that is carved into the surface rather than

    out of it.

    Relief wood carvings frequently adorn the doors, walls,

    and windows of traditional Malay houses. Popular motifs of

    such relief carvings are the various kinds of Malaysian

    flowers and plants. These carvings require a high degree of

    skill, patience, and determination.

  • 11

    Brief History of Thailand Folk Arts

    Traditional Thai art is primarily

    composed of Buddhist art and scenes from

    the Indian epics. Traditional Thai sculpture

    almost exclusively depicts images of the

    Buddha, being similar with the other styles

    from Southeast Asia, such as Khmer. Thai art

    was influenced by indigenous civilizations of

    the Mon and Khmer.

    Fabric Design

    Thai silk is produced from the cocoons

    of Thai silkworms. It is mainly produced in

    Khorat which is the center of the silk industry

    in Thailand. Thai weavers from this region

    raise the caterpillars on a steady diet of

    mulberry leaves. Today, it is considered to be

    one of the finest arts in the world, a product of

    a unique manufacturing process and bearing

    unique patterns and colors.

    Arts and Crafts

    Flying lanterns are made out of rice

    paper with a bamboo frame, which contain a

    fuel cell or small candle, when the fuel cell is

    lit; the flame heats the air inside the lantern,

    causing the lantern to rise. Once airborne, the

    sky lantern will rise until the fuel cell or candle

    stays alight. In Thailand, flying lanterns are

    used during the year for festivals, the most

    popular being the Loy Krathong Festival.

    This festival is held on the night of the 12th full

    moon, usually in November.

    Sky lanterns or wish lanterns as they are also commonly known have become

    popular on the main tourist beaches of Phuket. You will find locals selling wish lanterns

    for a small cost.

  • 12

    Sculpture

    Thailand is world-famous for its

    sculpture that dates back 4,000 years. The

    most used materials are wood, stone, ivory,

    clay, and various metals. The most notable

    sculptures are the Thai bronzes famous for

    their originality and grace. This famous

    sculpture in Wat Pho in Bangkok is 46 meters

    long and 15 meters high. It is made of plaster

    on a brick core and finished in gold leaf. The

    feet are inlaid with mother of pearl.

    Brief History of Cambodia Folk Arts

    The history of visual arts in

    Cambodia stretches back

    centuries to ancient crafts; Khmer

    art reached its peak during the

    Angkor period. Traditional

    Cambodian arts and crafts include

    textiles, non-textile weaving,

    silversmithing, stone carving,

    lacquerware, ceramics, wat

    murals, and kite-making. After the

    collapse of the empire these and

    other sites were abandoned and overgrown, allowing much of the era's stone carving

    and architecture to survive to the present day. Traditional Cambodian arts and crafts

    include textiles, non-textile weaving, silversmithing, stone carving, lacquer ware,

    ceramics, watt murals, and kite-making.

    Fabric Design

    Silk weaving in Cambodia dates to as early

    as the first century since textiles were used for

    trading. Modern textiles have traces of motifs

    imitating clothing details on ancient stone

    sculptures.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textileshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weavinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silversmithinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_carvinghttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_arthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muralshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite

  • 13

    There are two main types of Cambodian weaving:

    1. Ikat technique (Khmer term: chongkiet)

    – to create patterns, weavers tie and dye

    portions of weft yarn before weaving

    begins.

    2. Uneven twill – it yields single or two-

    color fabrics, which are produced by

    weaving three threads so that the color

    of one thread dominates on one side of

    the fabric, while the two others

    determine the color on the reverse side.

    Cotton textiles have also played a significant role in Cambodian culture. Krama,

    the traditional check scarves worn almost universally by Cambodians, is made of

    cotton.

    Arts and Crafts

    Handicrafts are part of their traditional culture and their livelihood as they

    produce textiles, baskets, jars, pottery and other tools for their daily use. The

    handicrafts sector provides vital employment opportunities to most indigenous artisans

    and disadvantage people.

    Sculpture

    The art of stone carving has flourished

    in Cambodia for many thousands of years.

    From small statues to the breathtaking

    carvings found at Angkor Wat, this art

    medium has become on of the country’s most

    cherished art forms.

    Stone carving has been both a passion

    and a livelihood for many Cambodian

    sculptors. The art of stone carving in

    Cambodia has a very long, fascinating history

    back to the foundation of the Khmer nation.

  • 14

    Brief History of Singapore Folk Arts

    Singaporean art embraces far more

    aspects. Absorbing the many cultures that

    made up its society, the country developed an

    eclectic collection of art form that made up its

    society. What makes the Singaporean art more

    distinctive is its merging of the recognized

    European with the symbolism in beauty of Asia.

    Works of notable artists and other masterpieces

    to be displayed in the Singaporean National

    Gallery will embody the unique and cultural

    heritage of the country.

    Fabric Design

    In Singapore, the existence and use of batik has been recorded since the 12th

    century but has receded in popularity through the years. Nowadays, batik is featured

    in as the uniform of light attendants for the official flag carrier airlines of Singapore,

    Indonesia, and Malaysia.

    Arts and Crafts

    The Songkok (also called peci or kopiah) is a cap

    widely worn in Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, the

    southern Philippines, and southern Thailand, mostly among

    Muslim males in formal gatherings

    Sculpture

    The Sri Mariammam Hindu temple

    with sculptures of different images is almost as

    old as Singapore itself. This was constructed

    and dedicated to the goddess Mariammam

    who is worshipped for her power to cure

    disease.

    Brief History of Laos Folk Arts

    The visual, dramatic, musical, and

    literary arts of Laos draw primarily from

    religious and local traditional sources.

    However, in contemporary times many

    towns—especially those along the

    Mekong River—have been exposed to

    other cultures and traditions, largely

    through Thai mass media. In the south,

    Khmer influences on the peoples of Laos

    are strong; in the north, Myanmar and Thai

    influences are readily apparent. As elsewhere in Southeast Asia, religious symbols,

    stories, and themes have been modified and localized. The snake, for example,

    representations of which adorn religious and royal buildings, symbolizes the

    benevolent spirit of the water and the protector of the king.

    Fabric Design

    According to Lao tradition, stories were weaved

    in the intricate dense patterns and motifs of textiles.

    Most diverse of these stories are the ones woven into

    a Sihn – the Lao women’s ankle-long skirt patterns are

    unique to each skirt.

    Arts and Crafts

    In this country, they make paper by hand in the wider region for over 700 years

    using the bark of the local Sa or mulberry tree. The bark is crushed and soaked in

    water until it dissolves into a paste. The liquid is then scooped out, poured through a

    bamboo sieve and finally placed in a thin layer on a bamboo bed and dried in the sun.

    Sa paper was used for calligraphy and for making festive temple decorations,

    umbrellas, fans and kites. Here are the examples of Sa paper:

    Sculpture

    Lao artisans use a variety of media in their sculptural creations. Typically, the

    precious metals such as bronze, silver, and gold are used. The most famous statue

    made of gold is the Phra Sai of the sixteenth century. Another famous sculpture in

    Laos is the Phra Bang which is also cast in gold. It is traditionally believed that relics

    of the Buddha are contained in the image.

    Brief History of Vietnam Folk Arts

    Vietnamese art encompasses art

    created in Vietnam or by Vietnamese

    artists, from ancient times to the present.

    Vietnamese art has a long and rich history.

    Clay pottery of the Neolithic Age dates as

    far back as 8,000 B.C.E. Decorative

    elements from ceramics of the Bronze Age

    were used to ornament large, elaborately-

    incised bronze cast drums of the Dong Son

    culture that flourished in North Vietnam

    (from about 1,000 B.C.E. to the fourth

    century B.C.E.). Scenes of everyday life

    depicted on these drums show that textiles

    of the Dong Son culture were highly

    developed. During a thousand years of Chinese domination starting in the second

    century B.C.E.Vietnamese art absorbed many Chinese influences, which continued

    even after Vietnam became independent from China in the tenth century C.E..

    However, Vietnamese art has always retained many distinctively Vietnamese

    characteristics.

    Fabric Design

    Golden thread silks were born in Vietnam. Many of our Vietnamese fabrics

    originated from Ha Dong, the center of weaving and sericulture (silkworm production),

    old jacquard looms are still used. Some popular Vietnamese fabric ranges are:

    1. Shantung taffeta – is slightly thinner and less

    irregular. Often used for bridal gowns.

    2. Bengaline weave – is a great looking, thick

    grained taffeta. It is durable plain weave fabric

    that is characterized by widthwise cords formed

    by using fine warp yarns and course weft yarns.

    3. Ebony satin – all-natural lustrous silk hand-

    woven in southern Vietnam and naturally dyed

    using ebony fruit pods. It was revitalized by the

    designer Vo Viet Chung.

    Arts and Crafts

    Vietnamese silk painting is one of the most popular forms of art in Vietnam,

    favoured for the mystical atmosphere that can be achieved with the medium.

    Sculpture

    Vietnamese sculpture has been heavily influenced by the three traditional

    religions: Taoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism, which come from neighbouring

    countries, China, and India. Among the famous sculpture are the 10,000-year-old

    carvings which can be seen on the Dong Noi cave.

    Brief History of Brunei Folk Arts

    Brunei Darussalam is richly

    endowed with a cultural heritage that the

    government and the people have worked

    tirelessly to maintain. The nation’s Arts and

    Handicraft Centre, for example, is a living

    testimony to the preservation and the

    proliferation of the arts and crafts for which

    Brunei was once renowned, including boat

    making, silver-smithing, bronze tooling,

    weaving and basketry. Visitors will also

    find Malay weaponry, wood carvings,

    traditional games, traditional musical instruments, silat (the traditional art of defense)

    and decorative items for women to be some of Brunei’s most unique cultural

    offerings.The introduction of Islam, of course, also dramatically changed Brunei’s

    cultural landscape, adding its own distinct artistic forms.

    Fabric Design

    Brunei’s traditional textile is also called batik but it is uniquely different from

    Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. Its designs have their national flower simpur,

    sumboi-sumboi (pitcher plant) and Brunei’s traditional design of air mule.

    Batik can be done in four ways:

    1. Hand-drawn 2. Using metal block

    3. Screen printing 4. Digital printing

    Arts and Crafts

    Songkok (also called peci or kopiah) is a cap widely worn in Brunei. In Brunei

    Darussalam, men’s headgears are categorized into three:

    1. Dastar – which is a piece of cloth tied around

    the head.

    2. Songkok or Kopiah – a type of cap made from

    velvet.

    3. Tangkolok or serban – which resembles as

    turban and is a typical headdress in the Middle

    East.

    Sculpture

    Sculpture in Brunei takes on a

    more utilitarian role than an aesthetic

    one. The people of Brunei have along

    tradition as excellent craftsmen using

    bronze and silver to create adornments

    and functional items such as bowls, tools

    and the like.Sculpting is one art form

    that is not yet widely practiced in Brunei.

    What I Have Learned

    Importance of Arts and Crafts

    There is no doubt that arts and crafts are fun activities for students. There are

    several arts and crafts activities, which can enhance the interest of the students

    and exploit their artistic potential.

    By introducing arts and crafts to the learners and involving them in such

    activities in schools, you will invest in building their cognitive, physical, and

    social development.

    These are following benefits of Arts and Crafts:

    Arts and crafts activities can enhance the learner’s dexterity and agility. With

    the enhancement of fine motor skills and much practice, a child’s manual

    dexterity, artistic skills, and speed will also increase.

    In social benefits, through arts and craft, learners learn to value and appreciate

    artifacts and images across cultures and times. Experience in design, art, and

    crafts enable them to reflect critically on their own work and those by others.

    They learn to act and think like designers and artists, working intelligently and

    creatively. They also learn about the preservation of heritage through art. A lot

    of the information we have now about people that lived millions of years ago

    came solely from art. Participating, with other students in art class, gives

    student a chance to interact with others while sharing common interests. The

    process of arts and crafts also strengthens parent-child bonding.

    The learner will learn to make correct and effective decisions by facing and

    solving artistic challenges. This helps to develop a problem-solving attitude,

    which in turn, will help them in the future.

    Making arts and crafts not only help in the above traits but also in boosting

    academic performance. Above all these are activities in this module filled with

    lots of fun for learners.

    What I Can Do

    Good day learner! Can you do this activity? This exercise will give you the

    chance to explore and integrate your creativity in making artwork. You will discover

    yourself how artistic you are and realize how important the values of making this

    activity. I know you can do it, just relax yourself and enjoy!

    How to Do a Simple Circle Batik Using the Knot Method

    Do It Yourself (DIY)!

    Direction: Make your own design Batik and follow the process or procedures below

    and the rubrics on the next page as your guide.

    Materials: Here is the example of Batik:

    water

    cooker or stove

    some large bowl

    vinegar

    ties or string bands

    fabric or old clothes

    batik color dye

    Procedures:

    1. Heat water in a pot on your cooker or stove to a little more than 60° C (140° F),

    and then put it in an old bowl. Use one bowl for each color.

    2. Dissolve the color powders into the hot water and stir.

    3. If you like, put some vinegar into the water. Vinegar makes the fabric more

    receptive and the colors more durable.

    4. Make knots in your fabric. You can make as many as you want or get as fancy

    as you like.

    5. Put your knotted fabric into the dyed water and leave it in it as long as you need

    or want. The duration really depends on how light or dark you want your batik

    to be, but keep in mind that wet colors always look darker.

    6. Take your fabric out and put it in an empty bowl where it can lose rest of the

    colored water for a moment. Put it then on a drying rack and let it all dry.

    7. A soon as your fabric is dry you can open up the knots. You could also try to

    open the knots earlier – compare your results.

    8. Iron your dried fabric. Then you should wash it out softly, by hand. Dry it again

    and iron it again.
