Abstract (Short version) - Outline Example

A treatise on Thai, Sukhothai Art exploration of lines and curves as a tactile quality for emotional design; investigating positive responses from application of artifacts.(Abstract)Postgraduate: ResearchPloypim BoonnumThis study topic was motivated by my love for art and design. This focuses on the traditional Thai forms in Buddhist architecture, arts, and jewellery. The study seeks to establish the connection between Thai jewellery and the wearer’s minds. Additionally, this should prove that jewellery in Thai serves more than aesthetic purposes.

This is due to the belief that Thai jewellery has a positive impact on the wearer’s mind. This study attempted to answer the question; “How do Thai techniques, designs, and material used in jewellery positively affect the mind?” Additionally, “What are the linkages between traditional Thai and the contemporary artistic experiences? As a creative artist, I integrated Sukhothai artistic forms into my art works, to prove the emotional effect.Literature review helped to gather background information about aspects of Thai arts.

Another approach used was, the experimental jewellery making. Here, I applied Sukhothai artistic forms into my jewellery. When I wore my finished jewellery, this sparked an emotional effect of calmness and tranquillity in my mind, thus proving the interaction between Sukhothai jewellery, Buddhism, and the mind.Nonetheless, the study objective was achieved; as I was able to prove the relationship between artistic forms in Thai jewellery, and the emotional effect these have on the mind. This study results will benefit lovers of jewellery, and encourage more to possess jewellery.

The Thailand artists will be motivated to invest in, and enhance their jewellery designs. This Thai cultural aspect will thus, become popular. This might also result in increased global demand for jewellery, because of its proven benefits.
