Pulses Artwork
On this Independence Day,
I am sharing an activity made out of Pulses which truly resembles the food that
our motherland grows, the beauty that our nature manifests and the art, culture and heritage our country beholds. I'm bringing in together the combination of all these
three things through my artwork. Today's artwork is done with the use of
different varieties of pulses that we consume in our day to day life and
honestly oblige to our motherland for growing food for us.
I've modelled a Flying Peacock
for this Pulses Artwork, as Peacock is the National Bird of our country, it
also resembles the plight of plumage and elegance, even though the Peacock
couldn't fly very high it has never lost its self-confidence and also never
failed to impress everyone through its beauty. Our country India is one such beautiful country which never fails
to impress. Finally how the food and art connect
together in the country giving it a perfect description of our heritage and culture.
This Pulses Artwork is presented in a very simple way for
the growing children who would love to do this activity. For
this Pulses activity, I've used different kinds of pulses and grains such as
seeds, rice, other colourful lentils. The
activity requires a very few realistic materials which need to be pasted on the paper
and is basically an easy and decorative artwork. Children would learn the names
of different pulses while doing this artwork.
They would also learn to sort out the colours
and sizes of pulses.
I've shared another such activity with pulses in one of my previous post where I also shared some tips for the Pulses Pasting Activity that will prevent the pulses from getting moistened and you can preserve your artwork for many days. You can also find the complete Pulses Artwork video on my You tube channel. For the Pulses Pasting Activity I had modelled a Duckling and used only three types
of pulses for that activity. However, for today's artwork, I will be using more
of the varieties of pulses such as split pigeon peas (Toor Dal),
Red Lentils (Masoor Dal), Petite Green Lentils (Moong Dal),
rice, Bengal gram, Urad Dal, Dry peas. This activity is very easy and I've have shared the step by step procedure with pictures below.
Tips: Dry the pulses under the hot sun before pasting them on paper to avoid moistening and growth of any tiny worms.
