Arts of Bali The Balinese language does not have a word for "art." Art is so integrated into daily life, culture and traditions, that there's no need for a separate word. Everyone in Bali is an artist of some sort. This itinerary focuses on art museums, art and craft villages and fine arts galleries. It also includes lessons in a variety of traditional art forms.
Day 2 This morning you'll visit ARMA (Agung Rai Museum of Art) and Neka Museum. You'll also visit some fine arts galleries. This afternoon you'll have a private kite-making lesson. Day 3 This morning you'll visit the craft villages of Mas (woodcarving), Batubulan (stonecarving) and Celuk (gold and silverworks) and Tohpati (batiks). This afternoon you'll have a private batik lesson. In the late afternoon visit Petulu village to see the white herons return to roost, followed by an evening performance of the Legong dance. Day 4 Today you'll visit a mountain village where you'll observe or participate in traditional farming, visit a school (if in session) and take an easy rice field trek. You'll then see a demonstration, have a short lesson, and participate in playing the instruments of the village gamelan orchestra. You'll also have a hat-weaving lesson and a lesson in how to make a temple offering. In addition, you'll have a private Balinese dance lesson.
