Grade 7, Gateway Middle School
My name is Sivathmika Suresh and I am in 7th grade at Gateway middle school. I have had a passion for drawing since I was young, I recently started learning Madubani under the guidance of Ms. Deepti Agarwal. My favorite part of learning how to draw this art style is how it foucouses on the intricate details of the painting. Learning Madubani art helps me connect to my roots of India, I learn a lot about my culture and I can't wait to learn more as I keep painting and making new projects.
The cow is the vehicle of lord Siva, it represents purity and motherhood. I used a lot of traditional colors in this painting such as, red, green, and blue. This painting had a lot of detail and intricate designs to enhance the cow and the background. Some techniques I used in this painting are kachni, strawberry dots, and crosshatching.Â
