Kolams are decorative geometrical patterns that adorn the entrances of households and places of worship in India and it's called Rangoli also. There are several types of Rangoli are there.Today I would like to talk about only Kolam. Kolam is the mother art for my Art journey. I learned this art from my mother. In my childhood I didn't went any art class.Honestly I learned all my drawings from Kolam.Not only me so many women in India 😀 .Some people will say I don't know how to draw. But all the southern part of women has to do kolam mandatory . Kolam has the amazing concept of Dots to Drawing.This concept makes everyone to draw.I have added kolam in my Smart Arts curriculum.   Kolam is a line drawing of curves and loops around a regular grid of points. The traditional South Indian kolam, based on a grid of points is known as Kolam and Muggulu in Andhra Pradesh, Rangavalli in Karnataka . The folk-art is handed down through generations of women from historic time
