Kaheksakanna kui populaarse ornamendi tähendus Eestis läbi aegade
Mostly the paper focuses on
«kaheksakand», which is one of the most popular ornaments in Estonia and also in the world.
Information about past I got from trade literature: mainly books, but also from another
research paper. To get information about modern people thoughts I carried out a survey on
Internet, which got 127 answers from people aged 13-43. In addition, I interviewed one artist
by e-mail. Also I used articles from newspapers and journals.
The paper falls into two main chpaters. Both focus on comparing modern meanings to the old
ones.
First chapter talks about folk art and handicraft in general and is divided into two
subchapters. First subchapter talks about the meaning of handicraft in past. Handicraft in past
was very important for Estonians, because this was the only way to get clothes and tools. The
main decoration for things were ornaments, which often had a certain meaning. The second
subchapter talks about handicraft today
