Through the process of Personal Project, I learnt that art and architecture co-exist and are complementary to each other, and that architecture is a form of art itself. Through the process of Personal Project, I learnt about this community known as the Manihar community that resides all over Rajasthan and specialize in making these bangles known as Lac bangles. Manihars have preserved the centuries-old heritage of making these bangles and the difficult art of making bangles has been passed down from generation to generation and for them it is very important to preserve the valuable skill and knowledge of making these bangles. I also learnt that an art form known as Phad painting which is a 700-year-old legacy passed down over generations within a single family. I learnt that this is a type of scroll painting that narrates elaborate religious stories of local deities and gods and that in the modern world, there is a need to promote such rich artistic traditions from the past. Their visual appeal aside, art forms like Phad preserve folklore and stories that have travelled through centuries and reflect India’s glorious and vibrant culture. Through the process of Personal Project, the IB learner profiles that I developed and practiced was being knowledgeable. This project gave me the opportunity to expand and widen my knowledge about art and architecture overall and specifically the different art forms and landmarks that are present in the city of Jaipur. I was able to widen my knowledge through research and background knowledge and this was a particularly enjoyable experience because I was able to learn new things about the place I grew up in and also there is something fascinating about finding things in research that you already know because of your experiences and family. I realized that while I already was quite knowledgeable about my culture and the city, this project gave me an opportunity to expand my knowledge and further understand the complexities of culture and of the city.
