Description

This Thanksgiving, join a unique art class to build a thanksgiving card with the ancient Indian Warli art pattern. Warli painting is an ancient tribal art that originated in India in 1000 AD. These paintings use a set of basic geometric shapes: a circle, a triangle, and a square. These shapes are symbolic of different elements of nature. The dancing men and women come alive right out of the art, as do the musicians! Done in miniature sizes, the figures, though just black shadows, they aren't merely that--shadows! Warli painting is a great art form to teach kids about the culture and lives of Indian tribe members. The simple geometric patterns make it easy for any child - no matter their skill level-to enjoy this style without getting lost in all those details. Ideal audience: This class is suitable for kids 6-12 years Materials needed: Here is the list of supplies we used for the Warli wall art. Greeting card paper (we love brown and black) Acrylic Paint Brush Tip Markers (You can use regular tip markers as well) Paint Brush Pencil
