Lesson 1: FABRIC / FABRIC DESIGN
Thailand, Cambodia,
Thai Silk
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 making 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.
.
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. Ikat technique (Khmer term: chongkiet) – to
create patterns, weavers tie and dye portions of weft
yarn before weaving begins. Patterns are diverse and vary by region; common motifs
include lattice, stars, and spots.
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.
In Thailand, flying lanterns are used during the year for festivals,
the most popular being the Loy Krathong Festival. This festival is

12th full moon, usually in November, with Chang Mai believed to have the
brightest and most spectacular celebrations.
Cambodia
Indigenous people represent 1.4 percent of the total population in Cambodia, and the
majority of them live in remote rural areas within the country. Often referred to as
highlanders, their ways of life are different from the lowlanders, both from the cultural
and economic perspective.
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 livelihood.

a Javanese Hindu-Buddhist tradition, where hand-crafted leather puppets depict
epic stories of the gods in shadow play The puppets are moved back of a cotton or
linen screen by a dalang, or a "puppet master" in a shadow puppet play. The dalang
tells the story, demonstrates, and voices each character, resulting sound effects with
speech and movement and manipulates all the figures between the lamp and the
screen to bring the shadows to life. Most shadow play is based on two epic stories
from India – the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The Balinese and Javanese have
combined the Hindu stories with Buddhist and Muslim ideas mixed with their own
folklore.
Malaysia
Wau Kite in Malay is a uniquely designed Malaysian kite
called “wau.” Its wings are similar to an Arabic letter
(pronounced "wow"). This kite-making tradition comes
naturally to Malaysian people, especially in the eastern
states of the Malayan Peninsula. Farmers used kites as
scarecrows in the fields and as a means to lull their
children to sleep, so they could work with little
interruption. Now, kite flying has become a popular sport
not just in Malaysia but

also internationally. Malaysia has been celebrating kite festivals annually like the
Pasir Gudang International Kite Festival.
These kite festivals encourage more tourists to visit.
Lesson 3: Sculpture
Cambodia
For many thousands of years, the art of stone carving
has flourished in Cambodia. From small statues to the
breathtaking carvings found at Angkor Wat, this art
medium has become one 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
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.

Indonesia
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.
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. The most amazing

Sculptures are the Asmat wooden sculpture of Papua, the Dayak wooden mask and
sculpture, the ancestral wooden statue of Toraja, and also the totem-like sculpture of
Batak and Nias tribe. From the classical Hindu-Buddhist era of Indonesia, the most
prominent sculptures are the hundreds of meters of relief and hundreds of stone
Malaysia
Malaysia Malaysia Porta de Santiago Bas-Relief 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. This is very popular along the
walls and stone columns of the ancient Greek and Roman
buildings and can still be seen today on many famous buildings,
including the Colosseum. Relief sculpture is practiced today by
artists and architects, done with stone, marble, bronze and
