The design of the fabric often guides the application of beads, sequins of embroidery, as the beads and other applications are used to enhance the printed design. This type of bead work can be interesting and fun, since you can use many colors of beads and threads to bring the design to life.
fabric paint
is a type of paint which is specifically designed for use in textiles. It is often used to create custom craft projects, and also used on commercial scale to apply patterns and decorations to textiles. Working with this substance is much like working with normal paint, and most craft stores carry an assortment of fabric paints designed for different materials and looks. This paint is not the same as fabric dye, although fabric dye can be applied like paint onto some textiles.

There are things that we regard as important to preserve for future generations. They may be significant due to their present or possible economic value, but also because they create a certain emotion within us, or because they make us feel as though we belong to something – a country, a tradition, a way of life. They might be objects that can be held and buildings that can be explored, or songs that can be sung and stories that can be told. Whatever shape they take, these things form part of a heritage, and this heritage requires active effort on our part in order to safeguard it. The term ‘cultural heritage’ has changed content considerably in recent decades, partially owing to the instruments developed by UNESCO. Cultural heritage does not end at monuments and collections of objects. It also includes traditions or living expressions inherited from our ancestors and passed on to our descendants, such as oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, festive events, knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe or the knowledge and skills to produce traditional crafts.
School Art Life Project is Strive to inspire young people to make responsible choice in their lives. Our mission is to create a synergy between visual art and performing art education. Not only teaching young people how to utilize this free resource, but also to make them recognize the possibilities of using what is readily available to them in a positive way and give them renewed inspiration and enthusiasm towards teaching. We share cultural expressions that have been passed from one generation to another, have evolved in response to their environments and contribute to giving us a sense of identity and continuity.
