Question

How do market forces influence the making of a craft
object? Think of a kite, a traditional paper toy, and a
papier-mâché object. Consider: raw material, process,
form and shape, design and decoration, the ecologically
conscious buyer, the export market etc.

Answer 1

Market forces can make or break a product

Explanation:

Kite:

• A kite uses very minimal raw materials which include thin wood strings, paper, glue and string.
• It does not require too much labor to work with.
• It is a cheap product.
• The sales is dependent on yearly events so it is low paying as well.
• It becomes harmful for the life due to the string that is being used and therefore the citizens are very cautious of using it.

Papier-mache object

• It only requires starch, flour, water and is mixed into a thick mixture.
• It requires a specific technique but the usage is not dependent on a tradition.
• It can be used as art and showcased as decor and exquisite pieces.
• There is no as such environmental thought attached to indulging in this kind of art.

Kite is a product, which due to its dangerous outcomes can be put to an end due to the external market forces.
