Arts and Crafts - Arts and crafts describes a wide variety of activities involving making things with
one's own hands. Arts and crafts is usually a hobby. Some crafts (art skills) have been practised for
centuries, others are more recent inventions. William Morris, John Ruskin and others promoted an "arts
and crafts" movement in the late 19th century, which popularized the phrase.

Both children and adults enjoy arts and crafts. Children in schools may learn skills such as
woodworking, wood carving, sewing, or making things with all sorts of material.

Fabric Designs - The designs created on the fabric plays an important part in making the fabric more
beautiful and more fashionable. It reflects the craftsmanship as well as the customs or culture of the
wearer. It varies from small geometrical patterns to pictured designs. Sometimes it is also designed
with religious figures for religious purposes.

Cultural Icon - A cultural icon is an artifact that is identified by members of a culture as representative
of that culture. The process of identification is subjective, and "icons" are judged by the extent to
which they can be seen as an authentic proxy of that culture. When individuals perceive a cultural
icon, they relate it to their general perceptions of the cultural identity represented.[1] Cultural icons
can also be identified as an authentic representation of the practices of one culture by another.

Sculpture - is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of the plastic arts.
Durable sculptural processes originally used carving (the removal of material) and modelling (the
addition of material, as clay), in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since
Modernism, there has been an almost complete freedom of materials and process.
