Rangoli Designs

Worksheet Description

This Diwali-themed worksheet is designed to educate students about the art of rangoli, a traditional Indian floor art. The worksheet features a set of questions that encourage students to explore the meaning, appearance, and elements of rangoli designs. These questions serve as a prompt for learning and discussion about this creative cultural practice. Additionally, there is an activity section with a series of dots laid out on the page, inviting students to connect them with lines, shapes, or curves to create their own rangoli pattern.

The second part of the worksheet shifts from the theoretical to the practical, allowing students to engage in the creative process of making rangoli. They are given the freedom to add color and design to their patterns, mirroring the vibrant and colorful nature of rangoli, which are often made during Diwali as a decoration and a sign of welcoming. This hands-on activity not only fosters creativity but also offers a tactile understanding of the cultural significance behind rangoli designs, which are believed to bring good luck. The combination of answering questions and creating a rangoli design provides a comprehensive learning experience that encompasses both cognitive understanding and artistic expression.
