ART FORMS
Warli Painting
Warli painting is a traditional tribal art form of Maharashtra, created by the Warli tribe. It uses simple geometric shapes like circles, triangles, and squares to depict daily life, nature, animals, and festivals. Traditionally painted in white on mud walls using rice paste, Warli art beautifully reflects the harmony between humans and nature.
Caricature
A caricature is a humorous or exaggerated drawing of a person or subject, highlighting their most noticeable features—such as a big nose, large eyes, or unique expressions—while still keeping them recognizable. It’s often used in cartoons, magazines, and political art to entertain or make a point through visual humor and exaggeration.
Calligraphy
Calligraphy is the art of beautiful and decorative handwriting. It involves writing letters in a stylized and artistic way using special tools like brushes, pens, or nibs. Calligraphy focuses on the form, flow, and elegance of each stroke, and is often used in invitations, certificates, artworks, and religious texts to add grace and beauty to written words.
Patterns & Techniques
Patterns are repeated designs using shapes or colors, while techniques are methods like shading, blending, or printing used to create different effects in art. Both make artworks more attractive and expressive.
One stroke painting
One stroke painting is a technique where an artist loads two colors on one brush and creates shaded, blended designs in a single stroke. It’s often used for painting flowers, leaves, and decorative patterns, allowing quick, smooth, and colorful artwork.
Dot Mandala
Dot mandala is an art form made by creating patterns with colorful dots arranged in circular designs. Artists use tools or sticks to place each dot carefully, forming symmetrical, decorative patterns that symbolize balance, peace, and focus.
Brush lettering
Brush lettering is a style of writing where letters are created using a brush pen or paintbrush. By changing pressure and stroke, artists make thick and thin lines, giving the text a smooth, artistic, and flowing look.
