Making rangoli/kolam patterns
In this activity written by the IET, learners will make a rangoli/kolam pattern for use in Diwali celebrations, the Hindu festival of lights. These patterns can be small or large, and in parts of India, there are competitions where teams of people work together to produce large designs for the public to enjoy. The resource enables pupils to consider the purpose and characteristics of rangoli/kolam patterns then create their own pattern using sand, adding colour and detail.
This is one of a series of resources designed to allow learners to use the theme of Diwali to develop their knowledge and skills in design and technology, and art. This resource focuses on understanding the characteristics of, and making patterns using, sand and other materials.
