This advanced cultural inquiry positions traditional Indian folk art and craftsmanship as case studies in identity preservation and adaptation. Learners investigate how symbols, colours, materials, techniques and storytelling transmit cultural knowledge.
Students extend analysis beyond appreciation toward evaluation of modernisation, market pressures, sustainability of tradition and evolving identity. Through structured documentation, artisan interviews and comparative analysis, learners prepare for Exhibition-level synthesis and argumentation.
Students will:
• Analyse how crafts communicate cultural values and perspectives
• Interpret symbolism and design decisions using contextual evidence
• Evaluate differences between handmade and industrial production
• Investigate how heritage adapts to economic and technological change
• Construct evidence-based interpretations of artistic meaning
By the end of the program, students will:
• Explain how artistic forms preserve cultural identity
• Justify interpretations using observational and interview evidence
• Compare craftsmanship systems with mass production models
• Evaluate impact of modernisation on cultural sustainability
• Create and defend a symbolic artefact representing identity
