Hey guys
I am Vidushi, smart but totally clueless when you spell the word B.L.O.G. However, after almost 6 months in a design college now, I have realized that nobody cares about your cluelessness when we are talking "modules" and "assignment". So here I am, a lost soul in the web world, trying to make sense of it all.
Let me begin from the beginning.
When we rejoined college after the winter vacation, we were excited and happy as post-vacation students should be. And then started the module. Unlike the normal academic colleges, design colleges work differently. To cut the long story short, we were told to pick a topic from the wide, world of art and craft and do thorough research on it. Well, also while you go ahead with your research, pen it down (or is it key it down?) in a blog here.
So now i would express my journey through the the whole research period given to us. Its just a starting how i decided my topic , though it was very confusing after seeing alot of crafts.
For all this research we were taken to different places the best ones were crafts museum and dilli haat.
Now i would like to express my journey through the whole research period.When we were taken to the places.
Initially i had gone to the crafts museum in delhi. There i had seen different types of crafts of india .there was tribal art like kashmir huts with handcrafted designs on it, there was also warli painting ,there were people from gujarat kutch selling there stuff from kutch like tussar silk shawls. There was also a gallery where there were a lots of different types of craftworks from different states like phulkari from punjab, kantha/sujni kantha from bihar and bengal, applique mirror work from gujarat, bandhini from rajasthan, banarasi sarees , zardozi work from lucknow ,chamba rumal from himachal pradesh, there were also different garments and things that were in there houses like beds (dewan) sandook sofas,tables ,raths etc of rajas and maharajas with there accessories like pagdhi palced in a glass cage.
After seeing all this i really got confused which people usually get.
so next day i had gone to dilli haat where there was this festival of bastri haat was going on there was a lot of different arts and craft there too. I have always been there for the shopping purpose and never to know the art and craft of india. there was alot of bamboo craft sea shell craft
the most interesting thing was the Iran craft which was very nice .there was alot of pashmina shawls ,metal handcrated bells from gujarat which was very soothing to the ears . This experience was a great one .After so mucch of research and struggle i choose phulkari from punjab as a topic to research on.
