INCORPORATING DESIGN, FORM AND SPIRIT OF SOUTHEAST ASIAN

ARTIFACTS
I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT
This learning activity sheet will allow you to create an artwork with the design, form, and spirit
of southeast Asian artifacts and objects.

II. LEARNING SKILLS FROM MELCs

Incorporate the design, form and spirit of Southeast Asian artifacts and objects in one’s
creation. (A8PL-Ih-3)

III. ACTIVITIES

A. Let us Review
In the previous lesson, you learned about appreciation of southeast Asian arts in terms of
utilization and usage of art elements and principles. In this new lesson you are going to learn about
incorporating design, form and spirit of southeast Asian artifacts.

B. Let us Study
Archipelagic Southeast Asia comprised of thousands of islands and a small part of mainland
Southeast Asia. It includes the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia,
Singapore, Myanmar and Timor-Leste. Art has been part of the region’s culture through the centuries.
These different countries in Southeast Asia are endowed with exquisite and fascinating artworks. The
distinct characteristics of their art works are reflected in the wide array of superb textile, crafts
architecture ceramics, woodcarving and leatherwork. Specifically, this activity focuses on the design,
form and spirit of Southeast Asian artifacts and objects.
One of the artworks is the Batik making which is common in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore
and Brunei. Each country uniquely uses different forms, designs and motifs in the batik textile.

BATIK MAKING

Materials:
 Canvas or old cotton fabric (old white t-shirt)
 Fabric paint or acrylic paint (latex)/ any available coloring materials that can be used.
 Washable white glue or Elmer’s washable blue gel glue
 Paint brush(small)/ old toothbrush
 Plastic wrap/ plastic placemat or old used papers

Note: (use available materials only, avoid expending money as much as

possible)

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET

MAPEH 8 - ARTS
 1. Prepare your fabric. Cut the canvas or cotton fabric into the desired size.

2. Sketch a design (optional). If you plan on making a detailed

picture, you can lightly sketch your design onto the fabric.
Another option you can do is to cut out a picture or template
and trace its outline on the fabric.

3. Make your batik design with glue. Place plastic wrap or a

plastic placemat under your fabric in case the glue seeps
through. Squeeze the glue to make lines and designs on your fabric. You can make simple
designs like flowers or geometric shapes, or do a complete picture. If you will use a sketch,
you simply have to apply glue along the lines of your drawing.

4. Allow the glue to dry. This will take around six hours or more,
depending on the weight of your fabric and the thickness of the
glue lines.When completely dry, the glue lines will turn transparent.

5. Remove the glue. Soak the fabric in warm water for 15 to

30 minutes. You can do this in a basin or directly inside a
sink or bathtub. The glue will soften as it soaks longer.
You can speed up the process by rubbing on the areas
with glue. After all the glue has been removed, hang the
fabric to dry.

6. Another method that does not involve soaking in water is to

peel off the dry glue lines directly from the fabric. This does
not work for certain types of fabric. However, it works well
with canvas batik but not on cotton tank top.

7. . Apply finishing touches. Once your batik has

dried, iron it and it is ready to be framed or
displayed as an artwork You may also hem the
edges to turn it into a placemat, napkin, or
bandana. If you worked on a large piece of batik,
you can sew and transform it into a bag,
pillowcase, tablecloth and other projects.
