1. Present the Topic With the presence of
Elements and Principles of Arts and Crafts in Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia pertains to the huge peninsula of Indochina and the extensive archipelago that is Modules / Learning
sometimes called as East Indies. Southeast Asian arts are predominantly influenced by religious belief and
are often expressed natural scenes and themes from their aesthetic tradition. Many of their artworks are Activity Sheet
influenced by their cultures thus expressing themes out of their daily scenes and norms.
Indonesia
Indonesia experienced a long history with each period leaves distinctive arts, from prehistoric cave
paintings to contemporary arts of modern Indonesian artists. The most common fabric in some Southeast
Asian countries is the batik which is thought to be derived from the word ‘ambatik’ that can be translated into
‘a cloth with little dots’.
Shadow puppetry is known in Indonesia. Wayang Kulit is a traditional form of puppet shadow play performed
in the Indo-Malayan archipelago. It is derived from a Javanese Hindu-Buddhist tradition, in which the hand-
crafted leather puppets depict epic stories of the gods in shadow play. There are usually seven types of
puppets:
1. putri or women
2. danawa or monsters
3. dhagelan or clowns
4. halus or refined characters
5. gagah or warrior-type characters
6. wanara or monkeys, and
7. gusen
Wayang Kulit will also feature lijepans or refined characters with modest manners, and lanjapans or refined
characters with a capacity for violence. In a Wayang Kulit performance, the puppet figures are rear-projected
on a taut linen screen with a coconut oil (or electric) light. The Dhalang (shadow artist) manipulates carved
leather figures between the lamp and the screen to bring the shadows to life.
The following are the elements of Wayang Kulit performance:
1. Puppeteer or Dhalang – one who entertains and teaches; usually men
2. Gamelan (a traditional Indonesian orchestra) – its job is to accompany the puppeteer’s story with engaging
music.
3. Shadow puppets (wayang kulit) – traditionally made out of cowhide.
Malaysia
Malaysian batik can be found in the east coast of Malaysia such as Kelantan,Terengganu and Pahang.
Since there are large number of Javanese immigrants in Malaysia, especially on the southern part, batik in
Johor clearly shows Javanese
influences.
Wau Kite in Malay is a Malaysian kite that is designed uniquely. It’s shape most closely resembled an English
number 9 , as in Comic Sans font. So, two nines set back-to-back, with the tails at the bottom, resemble two
wau’s in the same positions. Its wings look like an Arabic letter (pronounced ‘wow’).
Thailand
Thai silk is produced from the cocoons of Thai silkworms? Weavers raise the caterpillars on a steady
diet of mulberry leaves. Presently, Thai silk making is considered to be one of the finest arts in the world.
In Thailand, sky lanterns are traditionally made from oiled rice paper on a bamboo frame. The general design
is a thin paper shell about 30 cm to a couple of meters across with an opening at the bottom.
Cambodia
Silk weaving in Cambodia dates to as early as the late 13th century where women only weave cotton
from Kapok, a tropical tree, since none of the locals produces silk. In recent years, people from Siam have
come to live in Cambodia, and unlike the locals they engage in silk production. Cambodian weaving has two
main types:
1. Ikat technique – quite complex; it produces patterned fabric which is diverse and vary by region. To create
patterns, weavers tie-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.
Myanmar
Myanmar has ten most famous traditional arts and crafts which is called Pan Sel Myo (10 flowers):
1. Panchi – the art of painting that shows live animals and inanimate objects with the use of different colors.
2. Punpu – the art of sculpture which produced figures and floral motifs made of wood.
3. Panbe – being tempered in the iron in the oven to make the desired elements. It is a kind of blacksmith.
4. Panyun – a vehicle that produces materials. It may either be a bamboo, wood or thick black paint.
5. Panpoot – making wooden utensils, turning on the lathe turner.
6. Panyan – it constructs building with brick, stone and concrete.
7. Pantaut – a craft of making decorative designs floral stucco embossed.
8. Pantamaut – the art of stone carving.
9. Patain – making objects of gold or silver.
10.Pante – manufacturer of materials of copper, bronze or brass. The craftsmen are Gong, and the brass
bowl brass triangle Monaco, and small bells brass gong.
Vietnam
Fabric ranges that are popular to Vietnamese:
1. Shantung taffeta – a type of silk plain weave fabric; slightly thinner and less irregular
2. Bengaline weave – a woven silk-and cotton material. It offered the impression of genuine silk but was made
with lesser amounts of silk than cotton.
3. Ebony satin – a natural lustrous silk hand-woven in Southern Vietnam
Brunei
Brunei’s traditional textile, also called batik, is distinctly different than that of Indonesia, Malaysia, and
Singapore. It has its own unique design that shows their national flower simpur, sumboi-sumboi (pitcher
plant), and Brunei’s traditional design of air muleh.
Batik can be done in different ways: hand-drawn, using metal blocks, screen printing, and digital printing.
The three categories of men’s headgears in Brunei Darussalam:
1. dastar – a piece of cloth tied around the head. It is a symbol of honour and selfrespect.
2. songkok or kopiah – a type of cap made from velvet. It has a shape of a truncated cone.
3. tangkolok or serban – like a turban and is a typical headdress in the Middle East. It is made from long
songket cloth folded and tied in particular style.
Singapore
Batik is featured in as the uniform of flight attendants for the official flag carrier airlines of Singapore,
Indonesia, and Malaysia.
Sri Mariammam Hindu Temple is a sculpture as old as Singapore itself. This was dedicated to the goddess
Mariammam who is worshipped for her power to cure disease (early Singapore was mostly jungle, so disease
was rampant). The feature that makes it more impressive is the gopuram (tower) over the main entrance,
which is decorated with Hindu dieties.
