 LESSON
Elements and Principles of Arts
INDIA: RANGOLI

The term ‘Rangoli’ is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘rangavalli’ which means rows
of colors. In India, most Hindus put Rangoli in front of their houses and courtyards by using
common materials like dry flour, colored sand and sometimes with flower petals as
decoration. It is a traditional and practiced Indian art, and is designed in various colorful
patterns and dimensions. It is customarily observed on special occasions like festivals such as
Diwali, marriage, birthdays, engagements, house warming ceremonies and so on.

The traditional form of Rangoli made use of designs and motifs based on nature, such
as mangoes, creepers, flowers, swans, peacocks, etc. Even the colors in the traditional art
form were extracted from natural dyes, like barks of trees, leaves, indigo plant, etc. These
days, synthetic dyes have more or less replaced the natural dyes pf the earlier times.

SAUDI ARABIA: ARABIAN RUGS

Throughout the Arabian world, you can find an abundance of both kilims, or flat-
weave carpets, and pile carpets. You can find different knots used as well. The artistic
boundaries of carpet production techniques and design are not bound by the rigid lines that
separate our modern nations. Arabian carpets are primarily made from wool, but one finds a
broader variety
of materials in the area as compared to other regions of the world. Cotton and flax are easily
grown in the northern portion of Egypt. You can find carpet that use both cotton and linen
threads. You can also find rugs made from camel hair and goat hair in some areas.
Sometimes, silk is used too.
PAKISTAN: TRUCK ART

In Pakistan, brightly flamboyant trucks painted with images of idealized landscapes, famous
personalities, flowers, and trees turned village lanes, city streets, and long-distance highways
into a gallery without walls; a free-form, kaleidoscopic exhibition in motion. Other arts and
crafts of Pakistan include painted chests and jars.

TIBET: TIBETAN MANDALA

A mandala is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Asian cultures. It can be understood in two
different ways: externally as a visual representation of the universe or internally as a guide
for several practices that take place in many Asian traditions, including meditation. In
Hinduism and Buddhism, the belief is that by entering the mandala and proceeding towards
its center, you are guided through the cosmic process of transforming the universe from one
of suffering into one of joy and happiness.

In their most basic form, mandalas are circles contained within a square and arranged into
sections that are all organized around a single, central point. They’re typically produced on
paper or cloth, drawn on a surface with threads, fashioned in bronze, or built in stone. While
extraordinary as a standalone work of art, mandalas hold symbolic and meditative meaning
beyond their vibrant appearance.
