Today, I have Malini sharing with us these beautiful warli painting ideas that kids can make. She is a really sweet and talented art teacher here in the bay area.
Warli painting is an ancient tribal art (10th century AD) that originated in Maharashtra (India). These paintings use a set of basic geometric shapes: a circle, a triangle, and a square. These shapes are symbolic of different elements of nature.
It's amazing to see how they depict their tribal life through some basic patterns. My daughter enjoyed learning these warli patterns with Malini and was proud to show off her work to everyone.
Warli painting is simple, yet stylish. The simple geometric patterns make it a great art form for kids to master. I remember making warli designs with my mother on the walls on Diwali and other special occasions.
If you're looking to introduce tribal art forms to kids, warli art is great to start with.
I would strongly recommend Malini if you're looking for art classes for kids this summer. You can learn more about her and her classes at the bottom of the post. I have also included some of the other artworks that she has created with kids.
Traditionally, the warli painting was done with white color (which was made of rice paste + gum) on a red ochre background using a bamboo stick as a paintbrush.
Here is the list of supplies we used for these warli wall art.
MATERIALS:
Canvas
Acrylic Paint
Brush Tip Markers (You can use regular tip markers as well)
Paint Brush
Pencil
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Paint a canvas in black or red ochre colour and let it dry.
2. To make a simple warli stick figure, start with making 'X' shape and join the edges on both ends.
3. Add a small line to make the neck and make a circle for the head.
4. Finally, add stick hands and legs. Once the child masters the basic pattern, you can teach them to add details for more intricate warli patterns.
5. Fill the figurine with colors. We have used one color but you can make your warli patterns colorful too.
Isn't it a simple and beautiful art technique? It makes for lovely wall art for your kid's room or a handmade gift by kids for the loved ones.
