As the fragrance of incense wafts through the air and the sound of firecrackers resonates during this time, the anticipation of Diwali lights fills homes with an aura of festive magic. These celebrations are more than just rituals - they’re about bonding with loved ones and embracing creativity that adds a personal touch to the festivities. This year, why not make your celebrations more vibrant with some family art projects using Brustro products?
Why Art Projects?
Festivals like Dhanteras and Diwali are ideal opportunities to introduce kids to cultural values while nurturing their creative skills. Art projects offer a way to depict the stories behind these festivals, whether it’s welcoming Goddess Laxmi into our homes on Dhanteras or the homecoming of Lord Ram on Diwali. And with Brustro’s versatile range of art supplies, you can explore a variety of techniques that will not only enhance artistic abilities but also deepen the familial bonds as everyone participates.
Goddess Laxmi Mandala Art:
A beautiful way to celebrate Dhanteras is by creating a Mandala of Goddess Laxmi using Brustro Technical Pens. Mandalas are intricate, circular patterns that symbolize the universe. Using Brustro’s 0.1 to 0.5 Technical Pens, outline the eyes of Laxmi on a Brustro Artists Drawing Glued Pad, 200 GSM, A4 Paper. Fill in the patterns with Brustro’s DIY Acrylic Marker Set of 12 Vibrant Colours and add detailing with the Aquarelle Brush Pens. The result will be a mesmerizing piece of art that can be framed as part of your festive home décor.
Tip: Encourage kids to draw the eyes, focusing on symmetry and sharp lines, and let them experiment with different colors to make the design vibrant.
Diwali Greeting Cards:
What better way to share festive joy than by sending out handmade greeting cards? Use Brustro’s Artists Mixed Media A5 Paper and create beautiful patterns of diyas and rangolis with the Fluid Acrylic Brush Pens. These pens are perfect for adding those delicate strokes of vibrant colors. Add a touch of sparkle using Brustro’s Metallic Brush Pens, which will highlight the flames of the diyas or the shimmer of rangoli designs.
Pair this with Brustro’s Fine Liners or White Gel Pens for outlining and intricate patterns, and you’ll have a collection of stunning cards ready to spread smiles. Involve kids by letting them write personal messages inside each card, making the exchange even more heartfelt.
Festive Lanterns and Diyas:
Make your home glow with festive spirit by crafting colorful paper lanterns or decorating earthen diyas. Use Brustro’s Acrylic Markers and COPYtinta Papers to sketch your designs for the lantern. You can add borders with Brustro’s Washi Tapes. Once your design is ready, transfer it onto translucent paper and use Brustro’s pens to make vibrant outlines and patterns. The sturdy nature of Brustro’s Fine Liners will ensure your designs remain crisp and defined.
For earthen diyas, paint intricate designs using Brustro’s Artists’ Acrylic Paints. The vivid pigments of the acrylics will give the diyas an unmatched richness. Use Brustro Gold Taklon Brushes to paint the diyas with ease. Lastly, seal your work with Brustro’s High Gloss Medium to add a long-lasting shine.
Tip: Create a family assembly line - one member draws, another outlines, and the others color and add the final touches.
Storytelling Canvas Art:
Nothing speaks louder than a canvas painting reflecting the triumph of good over evil. Create a family project by depicting scenes from the Ramayana or stories of Goddess Laxmi and Lord Dhanvantari. Brustro Artists' Stretched Cotton Canvas is perfect for this kind of art. Use Brustro Artists’ Oil Colour Set of 18 Colours X 12ML Tubes for bold strokes, then add delicate highlights with Brustro Spray Varnish for making the entire artwork come alive.
While adults can focus on the storytelling aspect, kids can handle the coloring and add their own unique elements to the scene. Once completed, hang this piece in your living room - it’ll be a proud display of family teamwork and creativity.
Rangoli Pattern Stencils:
If you want to create a mess-free rangoli, Brustro’s Artists’ Acrylic Paints can come to your rescue! Use Brustro’s Soft Pastels and draw your rangoli patterns with it for outlining. Once you have your desired patterns made, fill them with the acrylic paints. You can even let the colors flow into each other to create mesmerizing effects that mimic traditional rangoli powders with Artists Acrylic Inks.
Once dry, cut out the patterns and place them on the floor or walls. This is a great project for kids, as it allows them to understand color blending and gives them the joy of contributing to the home’s decoration without handling traditional powders.
