                           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.
