Give the traditional rangoli a creative twist — take it off the floor and turn it into a beautiful stained-glass-inspired hanging!
Children will design their own rangoli patterns on transparent art sheets and explore the unique qualities of glass paints and thick markers. They’ll learn how transparency works and practise controlling pressure, strokes and the flow of colour to create vibrant, translucent patterns.
Once their rangoli is complete, children will add yarn and tassels to transform their artwork into a decorative hanging — ready to brighten up a corner of their home this Diwali.
