What children will practise
Practises recognising Thai handicrafts and their materials: basketry from bamboo and rattan, pottery from fired clay, tie-dye and fruit and vegetable carving, and why handwork is valued and how it is passed on. Fits indicator ศ 1.2 ป.3/1 on local art.
What's in the worksheet
6 questions, multiple choice with 3 options - What is basketry mainly made from? (bamboo and rattan) - How does tie-dye make its pattern? (the tied parts resist the dye) - Which art form is fruit and vegetable carving? (Thai fine craft, praneet sin) - Why does handcraft cost more than factory goods? (it takes time and human skill)
How to use it in class
Open a crafts unit or warm up before tie-dyeing, about 7 minutes, whole class. If you have a woven basket or clay cup, pass it round. In the tie-dye question the wax distractor describes batik, a good moment to contrast the two techniques. For a question many miss, ask what craftspeople there are in your community. Play it linked to the class and the scores go into the gradebook.
Common sticking points
- Tie-dye: children who have seen batik pick "draw with wax then dye". Put tie-dye and batik side by side. - Carving: praneet sin (fine craft) is a new term, so some guess mural painting. Ask whether carving is a picture on a wall. - Pottery: "cement mixed with water and sun-dried" pulls in children who do not know it is kiln-fired.
