  • Indigenous Graphic Design Practices
    CHAPTER5 INDIGENOUS GRAPHIC DESIGN PRACTICES Is graphic design only a modern idea or do we have art practices from earlier times which could be called graphic design practices? Do only the urban educated practise graphic design or can we find art practices in tribal and rural areas among people and communities that are not educated in a modern way? What do you think? Yes, we can see many art activities that come under graphic design among the pre-modern and traditional people and communities. It ranges from drawings on thresholds to corners, walls, roofs and front-yards of houses. The list goes on to the handloom cloth, ceramic decorations, tattoos, designs on hands and palms such as the mehendi to religious icons and yantras, talismans, walls and roofs of temples and forts in India and so on. All the art activities can be distinguished from the modern or contemporary graphic design practices and may be called indigenous graphic design traditions or traditional graphic design practices. Based on the tradition to which they belong, living Indian indigenous graphic designs and motifs may broadly be classified as under: ª Vedic and earlier design practices ªFolk and popular traditions ªTribal design practices ªTantric design practices CHAPTER5 INDIGENOUS GRAPHIC DESIGN PRACTICES Is graphic design only a modern idea or do we have art practices from earlier times which could be called graphic design practices?

  • History of Rangoli Rangoli at Diwali
    History of Rangoli Rangoli at Diwali Rangoli, which means rows of colours, is drawn on the entrance and filled with colours during Diwali. Rangoli designs are created using the thumb and forefinger. It is drawn to welcome guests and different Gods and Goddesses and to bring joy into homes. Origin of Rangoli Lopamudra was the wife of a sage called, Augustya Rishi. She also wrote 2 portions of the Rigveda (famous holy books). She and her husband lived in a remote place, away from others. People would describe them as hermits. Lopamudra wanted help her husband in worshiping the gods, so she started to make rangoli, a decoration for the Yagyakunda. Yagyakunda is what we call a place of worship. Lopamudra asked the Panchatatva (the five elements – sky, wind, water, earth, fire) to give her colours to please her husband. She was able to collect blue from sky, green from water, black from soil, red from fire and white from wind. She then added these colours to the rangoli (made from ground rice, lentils, flowers and spices) which is why they look so beautiful today. Rangoli Colours Blue represents the sky and green represents the sea. Both colours bring calm and helps with using our imagination. These are good colours for story-telling. Black brings strength and stability. Red, the colour of fire or danger, represents the code of conduct the artist must follow. White represents peace and positivity and embodies all colours. All of these colours in Rangoli bring in elements that we wish for in the new year, when celebrating Diwali.

  • A Language of Symbols: Rangoli Art of India by Nayana Tadvalkar
    A Language of Symbols: Rangoli Art of India Nayana Tadvalkar Abstract Rangavali or Rangoli is an ephemeral floor art practiced in India since ancient times. The sources of the rangoli diagram lie in the protection sought by Homo sapiens in the magical drawings, which were believed to prevent the auras of bad spirits from coming into the house. This tradition continues down the history of man till date. Rangoli, essentially a woman’s art, carries connotations of anonymity, collective wisdom, spontaneity and simplicity. It reflects the larger philosophy of life through patterns of memory and an extensive visual and geometric vocabulary. The art of rangoli is a storehouse of symbols. Beginning with the auspicious dot, the symbols go on expanding to form a line and the basic geometrical shapes like the circle, triangle, square and so on, each having its own significance. The geometrical figures as the point, line, circle, triangle and square, have a symbolic value in representing the basic energies of the universe. The survival of rangoli symbols through space and time and their facility for absorption in new environments can be attributed to their simplicity, flexibility and elemental appeal and most importantly to the beliefs of the people. This paper attempts to trace the meaning of symbols hidden in the rangoli diagrams. Rangoli or Rangavali in Sanskrit - rang (colour) and aavali (row), is an ancient Indian folk art created on the floor. Literally, it means creepers drawn in colours. In India, traditional place to draw rangolis is the threshold of the house, a zone of passage from the known – the house, to the unknown outer world.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA SYMBOLS OF GOOD FORTUNE: AN ANALYSIS OF ALPANAS AS SACRED IMAGES THAT REPRESENT AUSPICIOUSNESS BY JOSEPH HEIZMAN MENTOR: CARLOS LOPEZ, Ph. D. SPRING 2011 1 INTRODUCTION Alpanas are a type of Hindu ritual art, which are constructed as part of a ritual known as a vrat . In a vrat , practitioners vow to fast for a day, at the end of which their desires are granted by its focal deity. This ritual, which has developed over centuries into its modern use, is primarily performed by married women to promote auspiciousness, or good fortune, in the home. Alpanas are made from rice paste and applied to the walls and floor around the practitioner’s home altar. Previous scholars have analyzed alpanas as being either: decorative, representative, or illustrative. The decorative analysis interprets alpanas as expressing the practitioner’s artistic whims.

And he goes about doing everything to ensure it. But he ought to set himself a limit. For, happiness will elude him if, in spite of having everything in abundance, he craves for more and more.

However, they were rich in one thing – contentment, and that made them happy.
