Warli art demonstration by Savitha at Cafe Ambroisie , Koramangala bangalore on 13th dec 2015










Savitha demonstrated the warli art at Cafe Ambroisie . She explained the history and the concepts behind warli art .

Warli originated from the tribes of Maharashtra . Warli was used as a mode of communication among the tribes and depicts various scenarios from day to day life .It emphasises on relationships , enjoyment and harmony among people.

Warli uses basic shapes like circle (to depict nature), triangle (to represent bodies) , square (for holy places and functions) and lines .

Warli generally has people holding hands and dancing around in circles to the tunes of the trumpet played a musician at the center . This form of dance is called tapra.

In ancient times, warli was done on floors and walls smeared with cowdung/red oxide and pictures were drawn using ricepaste. Warli can be done on paper, cloth, boxes, mount board , card board wood etc.Pictures can be drawn using white fabric paint.

Warli is a simple art form with effective narration.

Cafe Ambroisie thanks Savitha and all who could make it . Looking forward to having you all for the next demonstration.
