Class 8 Arts Kriti Chapter 18 NCERT Solutions Overview
Arts of the People, With the People, For the People explains how everyday materials such as thread, cloth and paper become useful and beautiful art objects. The solved PDF keeps each answer source-based and easy to write in school notebooks.
The chapter connects art with daily life, human touch, community practice, patience, shared memories and sustainable reuse. The main revision idea is to name the material, explain the process and connect it with people.
- Art appears in clothing, plates, baskets, quilts and other daily objects.
- Living root bridges show patience, tying and links with nature.
- Patchwork turns old cloth pieces into a new useful fabric.
- Papier-mache turns old paper into a three-dimensional art form.
Tie and Link: Knotting, Roots and Fibre Work
Activity 18.1 begins with networks in nature. The living root bridges of Meghalaya show how roots can be gently twisted and tied until they become strong bridges over time.
| Technique | Chapter Link | Everyday Use |
|---|---|---|
| Twisting and knotting | Roots, rope and bands | Friendship band, wrist band or rakhi |
| Crocheting, knitting and weaving | Fibre art traditions | Baskets, handloom fabric, fans and charpoy |
| Group help | Knots can be confusing | Students look around and help one another |
Patch and Match: Fabric, Memory and Society
Activity 18.2 asks students to think about clothes that are no longer used. Patchwork gives fabric a long life by joining small pieces into a larger useful object.
The chapter compares society to a patchwork quilt. Each individual is like one piece of cloth, and every action can change the overall picture.
Pulp and Paint: Papier-Mache Process
Activity 18.3 shows how old newspapers can become art. Paper, water and glue are mixed into pulp, shaped on a mould, dried, smoothed and decorated.
- Soak old newspaper pieces in water for a few days.
- Squeeze, crush and grind the paper into pulp.
- Add glue, apply it over a greased mould and dry it.
- Release the dry form, smooth it and decorate it with colour.

- Do not forget safety. The chapter warns students to handle scissors and needles carefully.
