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
7
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.
Ikat Songket cloth
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.
9
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.
MODULES FROM
Relief sculpture is practiced CENTRAL
today by artists OFFICE
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.
10
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.
11
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
MODULES FROM CENTRAL OFFICE 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.
12
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.
13
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 12 th
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.
14
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:
15
Sculpture
Phra Sai Phra Bang
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.
16
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.
17
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
18
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

MODULES FROM CENTRAL OFFICE 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.
21
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.
