1. Search for a definitions
Rangoli is one of the most popular art forms in India. It is a form of sand painting decoration that uses finely ground white and coloured powders, and is commonly done outside homes in India.
2. What are the major elements of design that Rangoli uses? Define them and include them in your blog
Lotus flower, its leaves, mango, Tue vase, fish, different kind birds, parrot, swan, peacock, human figures and foliage.
3. Reflect on three of your favourite designs. Discuss the line, colours, pattern and lines of symmetry created in the design
My favourite rangolis are the first three ones and I like these ones because of their bright unusual but primary colours and their unusual shapes and uncontrollable lines! The patterns used all are particuly similar as they are all circular.
4. Choose a favourite. What does it remind you of?…. be as imaginative as possible
This rangoli reminds me of asian drawings. The colours tie together really nicely and the pink flowers stand out on the maroon circles. The belles on the pink and yellow are very different to the whole rangoli which I found to be difficult to understand!
5. Think about under a microscope what would it look like?
It would look extremely different as it would be all chalky and powdery which would make it very unclear and fuzzy. I think the colours would stand out more and it would look much different!
