ART LESSON INFORMATION
Warli painting is a style of tribal art mostly created by the tribal people from the North Sahyadri Range in India. The simple pictorial language of Warli painting is matched by a rudimentary technique. The ritual paintings are usually created on the inside walls of village huts. The walls are made of a mixture of branches, earth and red brick that make a red ochre background for the paintings. The Warli only paint with a white pigment made from a mixture of rice paste and water, with gum as a binder. A bamboo stick is chewed at the end to give it the texture of a paintbrush. Walls are painted only to mark special occasions such as weddings or harvests. | KINDERGARTEN & 1ST GRADE PROJECT Using white crayons and oil pastels on brown paper Kindergarten and first grade students created Warli style artwork depicting people, nature, and houses using symbolic geometric shapes. |
