USES OF THE MIRROR BRUSH
Mirror brush can be used to:
Make designs that are the same on both sides, like butterflies and hearts.
Create patterns that repeat evenly.
Make beautiful mandalas.
CREATING DIGITAL RANGOLI
Rangoli is a traditional art form where bright colours and beautiful patterns are
used to decorate the ground. These patterns are often symmetrical, which means
they look the same on both sides. You can create your own Rangoli designs on the
computer using Sketchpad. You can use shapes, colours, and special tools like the
Mirror Brush to make your patterns.
Follow these steps, to create the design for the digital rangoli:
Step 1 Go to the Sketchpad website and start a new project.
Step 2 Draw a shape from the shape tool, like a circle or ellipse.
Step 3 Select Mirror Brush from the Choose Brush option.
Step 4 Select a fill colour and outline colour
you like using the Fill and Outline
option.
Step 5 Drag the mouse in the canvas area to
create the pattern you like.
