 What’s New

Elements of Art
The elements of art are the building blocks used by artists to create a work of art.
Line is a mark with greater length than width. Lines
can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal; straight or
curved; thick or thin.
Shape is a closed line. Shapes
can be geometric, like squares
and circles; or organic, like free-
form or natural shapes. Shapes
are flat and can express
length and width.
Forms are three-
dimensional shapes
expressing length, width,
and depth. Balls, cylinders, boxes, and pyramids
are forms.
Space is the area between and around objects. The
space around objects is often called negative space;
negative space has shape. Space can also refer to the
feeling of depth. Real space is three-dimensional; in
visual art, when we create
the feeling or illusion of
depth, we call it space.
Color is light reflected off
of objects. Color has three
main characteristics: hue (the name of the color, such
as red, green, blue, etc.), value (how light or dark it is),
and intensity (how bright or dull it is).
Texture is the surface
quality that can be seen
and felt. Textures can be rough or smooth, soft or
hard. Textures do not always feel the way they look;
for example, a drawing of a porcupine may look
prickly, but if you touch the drawing, the paper is still
smooth.
Principles of Art
The principles of art (or the principles of design) are essentially a set of criteria
which are used to explain how the visual elements are arranged in a work of art.
These principles are possibly the closest thing we have to a set of objective criteria
for analyzing and judging art.
Pattern is a very important design concept which refers
to the visual arrangement of elements with a repetitive
form or intelligible sequence.
Balance is concerned with the
visual distribution or weight of the
elements in a work of art. A
painting could be balanced if one half is of the same visual
weight as the other half. Or, you could have a small area of
heightened significance which is balanced against a much
larger area of less significance, like in
the painting below.
Emphasis is a way of using elements to stress a certain
area in an artwork. Emphasis is really just another way to
describe a focal point in your artwork.
Contrast is everything in art.
Without it, an artwork would be nothing but a blank
surface. Contrast can come in many forms:
Texture contrast: A contrast between smooth and
textured. Many of Vincent van Gogh's paintings are
great examples of texture contrast in action.
Harmony is a bit vague compared to some
of the other principles. Generally speaking,
it refers to how well all the visual elements
work together in a work of art. Elements
which are in harmony should have some
kind of logical progression or relationship.
Variety refers to the use of differing
qualities or instances of the visual elements.
Variety can be used to break up
monotonous or repetitive areas.
Movement - One of the most
effective techniques for
creating movement in your
painting is to use bold and
directional brushwork. By
doing this, you can
suggestively push your viewer
around the painting as you
please. You could also
suggest movement through repetition or pattern.
Proportion concerns the relationship between the sizes
of different parts in an artwork. For example, the width
compared to the length, the area of the sky compared
to the land or the area of foreground compared to the
background.
Scale refers to the size
of an object compared
to the rest of the surroundings. For example, the
size of a man compared to the tree he is sitting
under or the size of a mountain compared to the
clouds. Scale is different to proportion in that
scale refers to the size of an entire object whereas
proportion refers to the relative size of parts of an
object.
Rhythm is
often the use of regular, evenly distributed
elements – they could occur in slow, fast,
smooth or jerky intervals, and this tells you
something about the feelings invoked.

Lesson

2 Fabric/Fabric Design

Thailand
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, Thai silk 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

Cambodia
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.
There are two main types of Cambodian weaving:

1. kat 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."

Traditionally, Cambodian textiles have employed natural dyes coming from:

a. insect nests - Red dye
b. indigo - Blue dye
c. prohut bark- Yellow and Green dye
d. ebony bark- Black dye

Laos
According to Lao tradition, stories of their history were not
passed on orally nor was it written, they wove it. Strand by
strand, Lao stories were weaved in the intricate dense
patterns and motifs of textiles. Unfortunately some are
elaborately fantastic, and the motifs so cryptic, that in
many cases only the weaver can accurately interpret the
story.
Most diverse of these stories are the ones woven into a
sihn—the Lao women’s ankle-long skirt whose form is
undeniable but whose patterns are unique to each skirt.

Vietnam
Golden Thread Silks was born in Vietnam. Many of our
Vietnamese fabrics originated from Ha Dong, the center of
weaving and sericulture (silk worm production) for
centuries. Old jacquard looms are still used, weaving
patterns containing centuries-old symbols and characters
Some popular Vietnamese fabric ranges are:
1. Shantung taffeta
2. Bengaline weave
3. Ebony satin- an all-natural lustrous silk hand-woven in
southern Vietnam and naturally dyed using ebony fruit
pods. The fabric dates back over a century, but was only
recently revitalized by the designer Vo Viet Chung.
Indonesia, Malaysia & Singapore
The fabric most common to both countries is the Batik. The
term “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 a resist technique: covering
areas of cloth with a dye-resistant substance (usually hot
wax) to prevent them from absorbing colors. This technique
is has been taught for over a thousand years.
There are two categories of batik designs:
1. geometric motifs
2. free form designs

There are two main types of batik that are produced there:
1. Handpainted -the artist uses the canting, a small copper container with one or
more different-sized pipes
2. Blockpainted- 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 in
order to make a pattern

Brunie
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
muleh.
Different techniques are used in Brunei’s batik like
airbrushing, cracking, bubble, rainbow, sprinkle, geometry
and marble. These techniques are applied on the fabrics like
cotton, chiffon, linen and brocade.
Batik can be done in four different ways:
1. hand-drawn
2. using metal blocks
3. screen printing
4. digital printing

Lesson Arts and Crafts

 3
Thailand
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.
In Thailand flying lanterns are used during the year and for
festivals with the most popular being Loy Kratong Festival.
This festival is held on the night of the 12th full moon,
usually in November, with Chang Mai believed to have the
brightest and most spectacular celebrations.

Cambodia
Handicrafts are part of their traditional culture and their
livelihood as they produce textiles, baskets, jars, pottery and
other tools for their daily use.
Many indigenous groups have established small enterprises
and produce traditional products to generate supplementary
income in order to support their livelihoods.

Laos
Traditionally sa paper was used for calligraphy and for
making festive temple decorations, umbrellas, fans and kites.
In former times it was also used as a filter in the
manufacture of lacquerware.
In recent years the art of sa paper handicraft has been
revived, particularly in Luang Prabang, Northern Laos where
it is now used to create lampshades, writing paper, greetings
cards and bookmarks.

Vietnam
 Vietnamese silk painting is one of the most popular forms of
art in Vietnam, favored for the mystical atmosphere that can
be achieved with the medium. During the 19th and 20th
centuries, French influence was absorbed into Vietnamese art
and the liberal and modern use of color especially began to
differentiate Vietnamese silk paintings from their Chinese or
Japanese

Indonesia
Shadow Puppetry is famous in Indonesia. Wayang, in modern
Indonesian language means "show" or "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. A traditional Gamelan orchestra would
accompany the story-telling.

Malaysia
Wau Kite in Malay is a uniquely designed Malaysian kite
called 'Wau'. Its wings are similar to an Arabic letter
(pronounced "wow"). This kitemaking tradition comes
naturally to Malaysian people, especially in the Eastern States
of the Malayan Peninsula.

Brunie
The songkok or 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 situations such as wedding feasts, funerals or
festive occasions such as the Muslim Eid ul-Fitr and Eid al-
Adha. Songkok came to be associated with Islam in Malaysia,
while in Indonesia peci is also associated with nationalist
secular movement.
In Brunei Darussalam, men’s headgears are categorized into
three:
a) dastar which is a piece of cloth tied around the head;
b) songkok or kopiah, a type of cap made from velvet;
c) tangkolok or serban, which resembles a turban and is a typical headdress in the
Middle East.
Lesson

4 Sculpture

Cambodia
Stone carving has been both a passion and a livelihood for
many a Cambodian sculptors.
The art of stone carving in Cambodia is one that has a very
long, fascinating history which goes back to the foundation of
the Khmer nation.

Thailand
Thailand is world famous for its sculpture that dates back
4,000 years. The most commonly 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 in plaster on a brick core
and finished in gold leaf. The feet are inlaid with mother of
pearl.

Laos
If Cambodia has stone carvings, Lao artisans use a variety of
media in their sculptural creations. Typically, the precious
metals such as bronze, silver and gold are used. Most famous
statue made of gold is the Phra Say of the sixteenth century,
which the Siamese carried home as loot in the late eighteenth
century. Another famous sculpture in Laos is the Phra Bang
which is also cast in gold. Unfortunately, its craftsmanship is
said to be of Sinhalese, rather than Lao, origin. It is
traditionally believed that relics of the Buddha are contained
in the image

Vietnam
Vietnamese sculpture has been heavily influenced by the
three traditional religions Taoism, Confucianism, and
Buddhism, which come from neighboring countries China
and India.
Indonesia
Indonesia is known for its stone, bronze, and iron-aged arts.
The sculptures can be found in numerous archaeological
sites in Sumatra, Java to Sulawesi.
The native Indonesian tribes usually create sculptures that
depict ancestors, deities, and animals. This is evident in the
pre-Hindu-Buddhist and pre-Islamic sculptures from the
tribes.

Malaysia
Most of Malaysia’s sculptures are relief. These are partially
carved into or out of another surface. These sculptures rely
on a base or plane to support them and are a combination of
both three dimensional 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
2. Bas form
3. Sunken relief sculpture

Singapore
The Merlion was conceived because the Singapore Tourism
Board (STB) felt country lacked a distinct image representing
the nation and its history. They set out to fabricate an icon,
which could tap into the particular myths and folklore of the
area, many of which feature sea-beasts and magical fish-
creatures.

Brunie
Sculpture in Brunei takes on a more utilitarian role than an
aesthetic one. The people of Brunei have a long 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 Darussalam, there are a number of artists who can
make sculptures like any other.

Additional Activities

Making of Merlion Statue Model

Materials:

1. Soap
2. Knife
3. Cutter
4. Pencil
5. Old newspaper
Procedure:

1. Choose a bar of soap. Any soap will

work, however, a larger bar is easier
to hold and gives more material to
work with. Make sure you have a
well covered area to do your soap
carving on.

2. Choose a knife to use. Soap is fairly

soft, so a sharp knife is not absolutely
necessary. Plastic knives, spoons, or
Popsicle sticks would also work. This
is especially important to note if the
you are doing this project, to prevent
any accidents from using sharp
knives.

3. Draw an outline of your carving on

one side of the soap. You can either
draw the outline first using a pencil,
or directly use a knife, orange wood
stick, or toothpick to scrape the
outline into the soap.

4. Remove the soap outside the outline

using small slivers or chips. Make sure
to scrape away only small portions at a
time, as it would be easier to remove
than to put back an over scraped
portion. Cutting off too much would
cause the soap to break off into
chunks.

5. Add detail to the inside of your outline to

refine the design further. When the
 carving is finished, wet your finger and rub the surface of the soap to
create a smooth finish. Allow it to dry and harden for a day.
