Rangoli for Holi
January 26, 2013
Year 4 have learnt about the Indian spring festival of colour, Holi. Pupils took inspiration from video footage of the elephant parade in Jaipur that showed elaborate designs painted on the majestic animals. They also studied traditional Rangoli patterns that were created using brightly coloured powder before they applied their Holi-inspired designs to paper elephant shapes. The children's eye-catching artwork has been mounted on display boards and hung on strings across ceilings to bring the colours of India to Year 4 classrooms.
