It is a traditional form of tribal art originating from the Wari tribe in India. So what's special about this art form, it's much more than just a form of expression. It's a cultural heritage. It's a canvas that tells us stories and it's a representation of community, of celebration, of togetherness. This art is known for its simplicity, yet has a very deep symbolism attached to it.

It relies on basic shapes and lines, but what emerges from those simple strokes are detailed and intricate patterns that are truly beautiful and fascinating. Trust me, when I say this, you'll be amazed at what you can create with the simplest of tools and simplest of shapes. That's the paradox of Warley art. Simplicity intertwining with intricate symbolism. Wari art might appear easy at first glance with its minimalistic forms and basic shapes, as you can see here, yet within this simplicity lies a profound depth of storytelling again. The charm of wary art lies in its minimalist approach, the circle triangles, squares, lines and dots, seemingly basic shapes. They come alive to narrate tales of tribal life, their rituals and celebrations. The beauty here is in the subtlety. The strokes are not just lines. They are a representation of cultural nuances, sometimes spiritual beliefs and seasons and rhythms of nature as well.

Every composition that we see that we create with these motives will be a window into the heart of this art form. Let us get ready to witness this harmony of simplicity meeting intricacy and where every stroke of the brush creates unique compositions. 2. A Glimpse into the Heritage and Fundamentals: In the due course of our sessions, we will look at where this wary art form comes from. It is a very interesting origin story indeed. This art form is deeply rooted in the Varli tribe of Maharashtra in India, this particular Warl tribe nestled in the forest of Maharashtra, laid the foundation for this unique art form that is celebrated till today. This art form has its genesis in the daily rituals, customs and folklore of the tribe, which has passed down through generations with this unique artistic expression. It is meticulously painted on walls adorning their homes and environment around. So this beautiful reflection of centuries old tradition and it's an echo of a bygone era, I would say. It's literally a treasure of tales passed down through generations and depicted on walls and houses. Isn't this so beautiful? Imagine the simplicity of village life, the rhythm of nature, and the warmth of community celebrations all captured in the stories which are painted in Wardla.

To start with our course, let's prepare some basic tools for now just to get started. Not to worry, we'll cover more materials needed later in the course. But for now, we will need these materials in our toolkit. We will look at all of the materials in details later, but this is a very quick snapshot. Here's what you'll need. Firstly, choose a canvas or a heavy paper to bring your value designs to life. You can choose a smaller sized paper to start with simple motives. Paints and brushes, acrylic or poster paints work wonderfully for Wari art, make sure you have various brush sizes as well to achieve different types of strokes and details. Have a palette for mixing colors and water for diluting your consistency of the paints. Sketcher designs lightly before painting with pencils, erasers will, of course, help you correct any mistakes along the way. Gather some reference books, some printouts, or digital resources showcasing ward patterns and motives. I have included some for you in the course as well. You can download and use them for practicing. Rulers and masking tapes may be helpful for creating clean edges and straight lines in your compositions if you want. The most important of all the ingredients, let your imagination soar on the blank canvas and of course, embrace the process with a bit of patience. A dash of creativity and patience is the most important ingredient that you'll need.

Historical and Cultural Significance: But Hey, guys, now let us go on a journey a bit more through the heart and soul of this art form, just like we spoke earlier, while introducing the art form to you guys. This is a tradition that's etched in history and it's knitted into the very fabric of Wali people's lives. Let's start by rewinding the clock and traveling back in time through Wali art. Sorry, though it is very popular in present times, it isn't a recent fad. It's an ancient Indian traditional art form and its roots stretch all the way back to 500 BC. Yes, that's right over 4,000-years-old. It's a tradition that's been passed down from generation to generation till date, and it tells us tales of the tribals life, their culture, their deep connection to nature, and all those heritage. Speaking of nature, it's hard not to notice that the art is intricately connected with the Wadi people's agrarian way of life. They honor the natural world in their paintings, fees animals, and the sacred hills taking center stage of their compositions. This art is a reflection of their deep connection to their environment. But Wali art isn't just for show or displaying in their living rooms or walls. It's a part of their rituals, their celebrations. It beautifully adorns their walls during festivals, weddings, and even other significant events. So it's a way of fostering a sense of togetherness, of celebrating the community's joys, their traditions together. That's the cultural significance behind this historical tradition, which is why it is carried forward and a very popular art form even today. As the world around evolved, so did Wari art. It became a powerful tool for preserving the tribes culture and heritage. Currently it's a living testament to the resilience of a community that has faced numerous challenges over the centuries and yet it continues to pass on its traditions to future generations. Here's what's truly fascinating. Bari art isn't confined to the past.

So in recent times, this art has gained recognition not only in India, but internationally as well. It's a cultural bridge fostering exchange and appreciation among diverse communities. Bali art is the art of storytelling. So each stroke and pattern narrates a story, and that's what makes it so captivating. The walls speak of unity of shared experiences and of the bonds that tie the community together. So every line, all the motives etched on the walls, they hold generations of wisdom and storytelling. Throughout our course, we'll not only explore the techniques but also dive into the narratives which are depicted on the walls, decoding the intricate stories preserved in this tradition. As we get ready to immerse ourselves in these living chronicles, we realize that the walls don't just separate spaces but unite stories. Dating back centuries, ali art isn't just a form of expression like we saw, it's a living legacy passed down through generations preserved and cherished by the tribe. This art form isn't confined to a specific period, it's a continuum. Surviving the test of time's a testament to the resilience of culture and the enduring power of art forms and artistic expression. The lineage of this art form has witnessed generations of artists. Each contributing to its evolution with their own styles and with their own techniques, while also safeguarding its essence. That's a reflection of this community's history, beliefs, and ethos. Our journey through this course isn't merely learning a craft, it's honoring and celebrating this legacy as well. It's a humble attempt to understand and appreciate the heritage which is passed down to us in present times. In the world of Wari art, nature isn't just scenery, it's where they drive inspiration from. From sprawling landscapes to the tiniest of details, nature breathes life into each composition, each stroke. The vari tribes close bond with nature is reflected in their art. The motifs of trees, animals, elements like sun and moon, they depict a harmonious relationship with the environment. Through this art form, we honor the cycles of life, the interconnectedness of beings, and the rhythms of nature.

By the end of this course, you'll have everything you need to create your Wari masterpieces. It all begins with understanding the materials and tools at your disposal, let's get started. 4. Materials and Tools Overview: Hey, guys, in this particular segment, we will explore in much more detail all the essential tools and materials needed to bring your wary art creations to life. This arsenal isn't just about paints and brushes. It's about empowering your creativity. It's about providing you with the foundation to craft your artwork. Together, we will explore the materials and resources that will serve as your companions throughout this creative adventure. Let's dive in and assemble the elements that you will need ahead. Of course, the canvas is where it all begins. Traditionally, wary art is painted on mud walls. The walls are washed and prepped with mud, cow dung, and you paste to give out beautiful early shades. For this course, we'll be using more practical materials like paper and canvas boards. The canvas provides us with a blank slate, a space to bring our artistic imagination to reality. We have a lot of options when it comes to selecting our canvas. Consider the texture of the canvas. I can influence the final look of your painting. A smoother paper or canvas might be suitable for more intricate details, while a textured one can add more depth to your artwork. Canvas size is another important consideration here. Whether you prefer a small canvas for a single motif or a larger one for more elaborate composition, your choice can impact the overall look and feel of your Ward painting. Take your time to choose the right canvas or a paper for your specific project. It's the foundation of your Barley masterpiece, and it's where the magic of this art form truly begins. For my artwork in this course, I have chosen to use tinted papers resembling traditional mud walls, just so that my white pigments come out beautifully for the sake of sharing them in this course. Next up, we need brushes. Valley art requires a variety of brush types, each serving specific purpose. Fine point brushes are perfect for intricate designs while broader brushes can help you fill in larger areas with ease. Traditional valley artists use bamboo sticks to render beautiful strokes and depth of color. That is also something you can experiment and try your hands with. In addition to brushes, you'll need pencils for sketching your designs before painting. Pencils allow you to plan and outline your artwork. Erasers are your best friend, of course, for making corrections without damaging your canvas. We may also need some measuring tools like rulers, which come in handy creating precise geometric patterns in your wary art. These tools help you maintain the symmetry and balance that are characteristic of this traditional art form. But of course, they're optional and I prefer to use them only if I want to precisely plan and outline my work. Most of the times spending a lot of time in planning takes away my motivation to create art. It just gets too taxing for me sometimes and I leave creating the artwork to another time in the day. I choose not to plan a lot and just start with some basic tools only. Choosing the right quality tools can make a significant difference through your artwork. They allow you to work with precision and achieve the level of detail that War painting is known for. Don't be afraid to experiment with different brushes and tools to find the ones that suit your style and preferences best. The more you paint, the more you'll discover your favorite tools that work for you and help you be at ease to create better outcomes on your canvas. Coming to colors and pigments. In the early days of ali painting, natural pigments were made from materials readily available in tribal communities. These pigments are crafted from elements like clay, Caudung rice paste, pariat backgrounds primarily features early and muted colors. Shades of white brown dominate their palette. The use of these colors not only reflects the simplicity of Ai lifestyle but also the deep connection with nature. The natural pigments not only give areards its unique visual appeal, but also carry cultural significance. The symbolize the harmony between the vary people and their environment where nature plays a central role. While you can create areard with modern acrylic paints, consider experimenting with natural pigments to get a feel for authentic vari experience. You may discover new dimensions to your artwork. As you explore the world of natural pigments and early hues, remember that every stroke you make with these colors carries a piece of Wari culture and tradition. These are some of my essentials. Of course, I don't use all of them altogether, but it's good to have tools which work the best for you and your style. When I started the journey, trust me, I had to use a simple sketchbook and a black pen to understand and practice the motives of this art form. As I practiced more and got my hands steady with the different nuances of aria, different techniques, et cetera. That is when I switched to using tinted papers and gel pens to beautify my designs. I also use poster colors with bamboo sticks on canvas. But for the sake of this particular workshop, I have prepared the artworks with tinted papers and gel pens to make it look easy for the artists of all levels here. Your sketchbook is where you can experiment more, brainstorm and develop your Wali painting concepts initially. It's a space for you to define your ideas, perfect your designs and compositions. Sketching is a very essential part of Wali painting process that allows you to pre plan your compositions, work out the details eventually and gain a deeper understanding of the motives that you want to create in your final artwork. I would say use your sketchbook liberally, try out different layouts, motives and patterns. It's a safe space for creativity, where there are no mistakes, only more opportunities to learn and grow. Your sketchbook is where the magic happens and don't forget to keep it close as you embark on your artistic journey. Tradition is at the core of are art, but that doesn't mean there's no room for adaptation. Some modern artists have embraced convenience of using acrylic paints, modern brushes, artificial lighting, et cetera, but we should really preserve the art's overall essence. Try to expand the creative horizons while also preserving the spirit of varart. That is the message I want to give out. And as we dive deeper into this world, it's vital to honor and preserve the tradition that defines this remarkable art form. Learning and using traditional materials and tools connect you to the arts rich history and ensure its cultural significance remains intact. While we explore modern facets, let's not forget the deep roots from which this art blossoms. Congratulations, guys.

Core Elements of Warli - Lines, Shapes & Human Figures: A all right, guys, let's move on to our next section. Here, we will talk about the core elements of Varli art form. Hello, and welcome to this lecture on the core elements of Varli art. In this particular section, we will explore the fundamental elements that make varli art a unique and captivating form of expression from the iconic human figures to the intricate depictions of nature. Each stroke on the paper here tells a story, a story that has been passed on through generations, preserving the cultural heritage and traditions of the Varli tribe. Throughout this exploration, we'll discover how Waldi artists very cleverly use basic geometric shapes and lines to create intricate compositions. The figures, animals, trees, and elements of nature come together to form a visual language that transcends mere aesthetics, creating complex art filled with stories and traditions. So let us unravel the core elements that have made this art not just a visual feast, but a profound expression of storytelling. Let's dive into the canvas and explore the magic of this arts. Ce elements come together. First up, we have lines and shapes. They form the foundation elements of ali art. The simplicity of straight lines, circles and triangles is central to ali motives. These basic geometric shapes represent the elements of nature, communal life, rituals in the Wali tradition. The rhythmic arrangement of lines and geometric forms create mesmerizing visual narratives, capturing the essence of their daily life, festivities and the interconnectedness of the community. Understanding these lines and shapes is pivotal in authentically recreating and innovating with Variat. Let's move on and see how these shapes come together and are represented. Let's now talk about lines and the significance of lines in varli paintings. Lines are the backbone of Varli art. They serve as the primary tool for outlining and detailing various elements of this art form. As you observe Wali paintings and art compositions closely, you'll notice the extensive use of straight lines and curved lines. Lines define the contours of human figures, animals, trees, and various other patterns like border patterns, as well as shown in the image here, in my artwork here. The human figures in vari are often depicted as the stick like figures. More on that in the later slides, but they are outlined with precision using straight lines themselves. These lines give shape to the triangular torsos, limbs, heads, et cetera. In the depiction of nature elements, lines play a very crucial role again in creating the outlines of trees, adding details, vertical lines form the trunks, while branching lines create distinctive and beautiful vary tree patterns. The use of lines to represent natural environment contributes to the overall storytelling within the artwork. Patterns and details within these elements are so detailed and crafted with the use of lines. Geometric patterns detailed with lines add depth and visual interest to the compositions. Lines are also used to create the rhythmic patterns in the depiction of landscapes as well. This gives a very dynamic quality to the scenes to the natural scenes. As you engage in your own valley inspired creations, consider the role of lines is so important in conveying simplicity, conveying the rhythm, depth, and storytelling in your art. The precision of these lines is also important and it gums with more practice. It certainly captures the essence of this art and every line here, every stroke, it's contributing to a larger narrative. Ines is a representation of life energy. The straight lines in this art often associated with life force or energy that flows through all living things. They symbolize the vitality and interconnected of individuals within the community. The circle, a recurring motif in vary at serves as a powerful symbol of continuity and interconnectedness. Circles play a distinctive role here, particularly in the portrayal of human figures in Vardi. As you observe the compositions closely, notice how circles are employed to represent heads for the human figures. The round shave serves as a simple symbol, yet powerful enough capturing the essence of individuals within the Bardi tribe. The circles, they add a touch of character to the stick like figures, making each one special and vibrant. Beyond the depiction of human figures, circles are utilized to represent celestial elements in Wali art. Suns and moons are some of the special elements of the Wari visual narrative, often take the form of circles. These celestial circles contribute to the cultural and spiritual dimensions within the compositions. They reflect the connection between the community and the natural world around. In patterns and decorative elements, circles add a sense of rhythm and harmony to the overall aesthetic, whether adorning clothing or adding detailed jewelry or background details, circles, they enhance the visual richness of the art. Each circle becomes more than just a geometric shape. It symbolizes unity, wholeness, and the eternal cycle of life. The circular form suggest interconnectedness of the individuals, as you can see in my artwork here, emphasizing a sense of oneness, shared experiences among the people. So circular elements also represent a connection to the divine, the idea of continuity, a sort of a recognition that life is an unending journey. And it's woven together by shared experiences and a deep connection to the natural world. The triangle, a recurring motif in Variat. It serves a powerful symbol of stability and strength. Triangle plays a distinctive role, particularly in the portrayal of human figures and animals in vary. So as you observe the compositions, notice how these triangles are representing the torsos of the human figures. The angular shape serves as a simple yet, you know, a powerful symbol capturing the essence of individuals within the tribe. These triangles, they are adding a touch of, you know, structure to the strict figures, making each one unique with their postures. So beyond the depiction of human figures, triangles are utilized to represent various elements in Variat like mountains, trees, and hearts, some of the special elements of the Wari visual narrative, they often take the form of triangles. These triangular shapes, they contribute to the cultural and environmental dimensions within the compositions reflecting the connection between the community and the surroundings again. So in patterns and decorative elements, they add a sense of direction, but they add a sense of dynamism to the overall aesthetic. So each triangle becomes more than a gomatc shape. I symbolizes strength and stability and the foundation of life. Triangular elements also represent a connection to, you know, connection to the Earth, the idea of groundedness, recognition that life is built upon stable foundation, and that is how it is woven together by child experiences again and a deep connection to the natural world. In the context of aria, dots often represent seeds symbolizing fertility and the potential for abundant harvest. The careful scattering of dots across the canvas or your paper, it becomes a visual metaphor for the seeds of life sown with care and optimism. You can see in the picture here in my artwork here, how falling raindrops are depicted using, you know, a playful, careful pattern of dots. It echoes the Pi people's connection to the land and their reliance on agriculture for sustenance. The dots here also contribute to the overall rhythm and energy within the compositions. They're adding a dynamic quality, enhancing the visual appeal, they're creating a sense of movement. Each dot, even though a small one becomes a vital component in the storytelling tradition of Ward. All right guys. Now let's look into the significance of these iconic stick like figures that graze the canvas of Wari paintings all over. So human figures. They are the fundamental aspect of vari paintings. Let's start by understanding the distinct characteristics of Wari human figures. Typically, these figures are simplistic in design. Sorry about that. With stick like bodies, they're round heads. They have triangular torsos and straight limbs. There are no facial features as such, typically, but the different postures and, you know, their gestures, they convey their actions. It creates a visual language within the artwork. Through the arrangement of these human figures, we can observe the, we can observe a lot of things portrayal of family bonds, community relationships. Also men and women and children each have distinctive roles within the composition, within the society. So these figures are not just representations, they carry a purpose in Wali artwork. Each figure on the canvas here it shows us the essence of communal life, their daily activities, their interconnectedness of individuals within the Wali Tribe. The simplicity of these figures is deceptive. Even within them, they carry a rich narrative of, you know, the collective spirit of the community. So in Wari art, human figures, they play a central role, as you can see in conveying the stories, in conveying different narratives. They engage in dances, rituals, celebrations, daily activities, reflecting the importance of community life. Each figure in this art form, it becomes a character in the visual storytelling tradition, which is the hallmark of this art form. Now that we are familiar with the basics, let us understand how each human figure contributes to a larger narrative of storytelling about their daily life, traditions and culture. Take a look at this particular illustration on the left my artwork here, the arrangement of human figures in a circle, which symbolizes a communal gathering. Notice how the figures holding hands, they're representing, you know, unity and shared experiences. They're dancing together. They're celebrating together. There you know, it just shows their interconnectedness. So in this example, we see a depiction of a harvest celebration, actually. The human figures are shown engaged in dance reflecting the joy and festivity of the occasion. It's a harvest festival. So I have used postures and, you know, gestures to convey the liveliness of the atmosphere of celebrations. Here, families are portrayed with human figures. They are gathered around a central, you know, like a bonfire. This arrangement symbolizes the nucleus of family, emphasizing their close bonds and relationships within all the family members. So in ali art, the positioning of human figures is also crucial in your composition. For instance, they are facing each other may signify conversation or a connection between them, while those facing outward may represent engagement with their external environment. So ali artists often use size and positioning of figures to convey, you know, hierarchy convey roles within the community setting. So by paying attention to these details, one can decipher the social structure and the significance of each figure in the context of the artwork. Now check all the figures engaged in the dance, the circular arrangement and dynamic postures. They are symbolizing joy, celebrations. They are capturing the spirit of the festivities within the tribe. In another illustration that I have here on the right, my artwork showcases all the human figures arranged in a linear fashion. That is representing a procession or a journey. I portrays the continuity of traditions and the passage of time as well. The beauty of vari storytelling lies in its ability to communicate the universal themes through seemingly simple compositions. The next time you create a vary piece, consider the narrative you want to convey and how each human figures contributes to your story to your larger narrative. And as you explore this aspect of Wari art, remember that storytelling is a dynamic and a very personal expression. Embrace the tradition, experiment with your interpretation, your own understanding, and let your creativity unfold in the narratives you craft through this time do language. Now, let us look at the lines and shapes in a bit more detail. What I will show you now is a video of how the lines and shapes create different variations and patterns, and can be creatively used to convey different postures and gestures in your artwork. So you might wonder how it is actually done. Let's have a look and understand what is happening in the video. A B B a Mata Matata a a Ben at 6. Core Elements of Warli - Animals & Birds: Hey, guys, we're looking at the timeless language of ai art. Let's continue with our exploration of the core elements further. In this section, we have animals and birds as some of the important core elements of a decomposition. In Wali paintings, the inclusion of animals and birds adds another layer of meaning, enriching the visual narrative with elements of nature and symbolism of nature. As we examine my artwork on this slide, notice the simplicity with which animals are depicted. Geometric shapes, they are coming together to form creatures that are both recognizable and symbolic. The Bari artists use basic lines and shapes to represent animals and birds as well, maintaining the minimalist aesthetic that defines this art form. In Waldi art, animals and birds often represent aspects of nature, seasons, or cultural beliefs. For example, a depiction of cattle might symbolize abundance and prosperity. While birds in flight could signify freedom or spirituality. Consider the scene where human and animal figures are coexisting harmonously. The interaction between the two illustrates the deep connection Wadi tribes have with nature. Animals are not merely decorative elements, but very integral parts of the narrative reflecting the symbiotic relationship between the community and its surroundings. Let's visit some of the common animals depicted in Waliat in the upcoming sections. Cows and bulls, they are very common elements and are often depicted in Bali paintings. These animals, they hold cultural significance in many Indian communities actually, including the Wali tribe. They symbolize the agricultural life, fertility and abundance. Cows and bulls are essential for farming and agriculture, which is the primary source of livelihood for many Bari people. Cows and bulls are associated with fertility and abundance as they provide milk, meat, and labor for the community. They also represent the abundance of nature and richness of the land. They may be shown in various scenarios such as grazing in the fields, being milked or fed by villages, participating in festivals and celebrations, or maybe accompanying other animals such as birds or goats. Horses are occasionally represented in Warat, although they are not as common as other animals like cows and bulls, they are often associated with the natural world and the forest, which is a vital part of the Wari people's environment and their livelihoods as well. So horses are included mostly in ceremonies and processions as well, particularly in bridal processions, where they are often depicted as part of the bridal procession symbolizing the bride's journey to her new home and beginning of a new life. They're also shown in wedding scenes adding a sense of grandeur and celebration to the artwork. In Bali art, horses are typically depicted in a stylized manner with bold lines and the basic geometric shape similar to other animals. The inclusion of horses in this art serves as a reminder of importance of nature, forests and celebrations in the daily lives of the Bali people, as well as their cultural and spiritual practices. Various types of birds are depicted in Bali paintings showcasing the importance of these creatures in Bali culture and daily life. Birds are often seen as symbols of freedom flying fortlessly through the skies and this representation can be abundantly seen in Bali art. Birds are also associated with spirituality as they are believed to carry prayers and messages of the Wai people to the gods and ancestors. Depiction of birds in Wari ar, they can symbolize the connection between the earthly and the celestial lens, highlighting the Wari people's belief in the interconnectedness of all the things beyond the realms. Birds may be shown in various scenarios such as perched on trees or branches, flying through the skies, accompanying other animals or humans participating in ceremonies, celebrations. Peacocks are very special and occasionally featured in Warard making them a unique and significant element in Wari paintings. The peacocks stunning feathers. They are often depicted in Baryar showcasing their beauty and majesty. The peacocks vibrant plumage can represent beauty, elegance and refinement in varard. Because gentle and majestic movements can symbolize grace, poise, and dignity. In Indian culture, peacocks are considered sacred and are associated with good fortune, prosperity and wisdom. This cultural significance is reflected in variad as well, where peacocks are often depicted in important celebrations and ceremonies.

The depiction of fish in aiat can represent abundance of nature, richness of the water resources. Different types of fishes and other aquatic animals are depicted using similar geometric shapes like we saw before. While less common than other animals, I would say, elephants are depicted in variar. It adds a sense of grandeur and majesty to the artwork. They are known for their physical strength. Attribute is often represented in Vali art. Elephants are revered for their majesty and this is reflected in the art where they are often depicted in dignified and legal processions.

By exploring the symbolism and understanding the importance of these animals, we now have a deeper understanding of Wali elements used in the art form. 7. Nature's Inspirations in Warli Art: Hi, everyone. Let's continue our exploration of decoding the Wali symbols. Now, as we saw earlier, the natural world is a constant source of inspiration for Wali artists. Let's see various themes that celebrate the profound connection between the Wali community and their natural surroundings. Flora and fauna, Wali artists frequently depict local plant life and animals in their artwork. This theme particularly celebrates the biodiversity of the region. Harvest and agriculture, the agricultural cycle from sowing seeds to harvesting crops is a common theme in Variat. It reflects the importance of farming in the community. Monsoon and rain, monsoon season is crucial for agriculture in the region and it's often depicted as a life giving force in Bariat.

Seasons, the changing seasons and their impact on agriculture and the daily life are a recurring theme in Wareard. Nature's bounty, abundance of nature's gifts, including crops, fruits, and wildlife is celebrated in the artwork. 8. Everyday Life's Narratives in Warli Art: Hey, everyone. Let us continue our exploration in decoding the language of Wali symbols. We are looking at the everyday life narratives here, and the art of Wali captures the essence of everyday chores, celebrations and moments of joy. It's a reminder of the beauty found in the ordinary. Let's explore some themes through the lens of the commonplace. House, agar depicting homes and huts, symbolizes the village and family life. House is a central element in daily narratives. Here it's representing the kitchen and cooking activities. This symbolizes the preparation of food, which is a crucial aspect of daily life. Cows and livestock, cows, goats and other livestock, they symbolize the importance of animal husbandry and daily products in the community. Village scenes and depictions of village scenes including houses, people, animals, they narrate the hustle and bustle of everyday village life in Wali yard. Social gatherings or melas, these kind of motives represent community gatherings and festivals showcasing the social fabric of Bali community. Dance and music, symbols of dance and music to illustrate the cultural and recreational aspects of Wali people's daily life.

They signify importance of oral traditions, sharing stories, celestial bodies, as we saw earlier, they are also included in the daily life narratives signifying the passing of time and daily routines. F. 9. Rituals & Spiritual Symbols in Warli Art: Continuing our exploration of decoding the language of Warley symbols in varli compositions and themes. Wali art is not just about everyday life narratives also, it's also a window into the sacred rituals and spiritual beliefs of the community. Every motif carries a piece of their faith from worship to blessings. Wali art encapsulates the rituals and customs that are an integral part of the community's identity. In this particular section, I would like to invite you to connect with the spiritual dimension of Wai art. It's a journey of reverence and understanding. So depiction of deities and gods, this symbolize the spiritual beliefs of the people. Mother goddess is the central theme in Vari paintings. She is the mother who looks after their welfare. She's worshipped in many forms and depicted in paintings according to the occasions. For example, Kansari here on the right is the goddess of corn and is depicted widely in harvest festivals and those compositions. She is the mother of good harvest and agriculture. Then Palagat, she's the goddess of bountiful nature, trees, plants and vegetation around. She's depicted in wedding scenes in wadi painting. She is believed to, you know, bless the couple getting married with abundance. Bagdv is the god of tiger. He is believed to be the guardian of tribes. The god is depicted during festivals in painting composition. Chedda is the god who is believed to be the chief and sister to protect the valis from dangers. Vas, they are the village guardians. These deities are believed to ward off evil spirits from entering their fields and villages. In ali paintings, Chedda and viras are often represented outside the village where people are shown visiting them for pilgrimages. Trust me when I say this, there are so many other forms of gods and deities and goddesses that are so prevalently depicted in the paintings as well their beliefs and stories which are passed down from generations to generations. Now, TarpAO peculiar depiction in variat is the Wari dance of Tarpa. Tarpa is the central theme in many of the rituals and celebrations. There is no marriage or the Bali festival, even composition without a tarpa dance depicted. It is a merry go round formation of light, sound, and festivity, in the actual tradition of Wari. Tarpa is also a musical instrument, by the way, which is played and Bali people gather around the man playing the pipe and dance in a circular fashion, which is why it's called as a tarpa dance. Another central important motive, especially depicted during marriage ceremonies is goddess Balakat in a chalk. Chalk is nothing but square mandala, which is richly and intricately drawn with great care and details. Choke can be a dave chalk depicting a god or a gnachok depicting goddess of marriages, depending on the painting composition, the type of chalk differs. Now Jagna and haven. Rituals like Jagnas and havens, which involve offerings to the fire are often depicted to showcase religious ceremonies. Offerings or prasad symbols of offerings such as grains and fruits are used to portray the act of making offerings to deities during rituals. Sacred animals. Animals like snakes, peacocks, horses are considered sacred and are incorporated to represent spiritual elements. Dance of the spirits, aliartss often depict the dance of spirits or deities reflecting the mystical and the spiritual aspects of their beliefs. Symbols of ritual implements such as spots, lamps, bells are used to illustrate the tools used in religious ceremonies. Surya, which is sun and Chandra, which is the moon, are commonly depicted to symbolize celestial bodies and their importance in religious rituals. 10. Personal Expressions & Modern Interpretations: So think further with our exploration, looking at the language of Bali symbols in different compositions. Let us not forget that we celebrate the uniqueness of every artist and their personal touch on the canvas of Waley art. While Bayard follows tradition and culture at its core, it's also a platform for personal expression. So artists infuse their creativity into every symbol and motive. The beauty of Walle art lies in its ability to blend tradition with personal expression. Each artist, each person adds a piece of their heart into the canvas. I want to invite you to embrace your own individuality and let your own art be a reflection of your unique perspective. Here are some glimpses of my artworks where I have tried to explore different styles of expressions on different objects. So I have a tarpa dance depiction on a clay pot. Then I have added some birds in birds in flight in black ink on a tinted paper. Then again, a beautiful twig, which is resembling a plant from my backyard, which is also painted on a tinted paper here. There are different ways of expressing your own individual narrative, utilizing the same symbols and same traditional context of ali art. You can do so much more with your own individual stories. Modern vale artists are reinterpreting the traditional motives in new and innovative ways. They are experimenting with different materials, different styles, and themes. This fusion of old and new preserves the essence of variart while making it relevant to contemporary audiences. Wari symbols are being used in street art, graffiti and digital art as well. Artists are incorporating modern themes such as environmentalism and social justice into their work. The traditional Wari style is being combined with other art forms like abstract expressionism and even pop art for that matter. So this blessing of styles is creating a new dynamic visual language. Modern body art is not just about aesthetics, it's also about storytelling and, of course, cultural preservation. By embracing innovation, we as artists should ensure the continued relevance of this ancient art form. The result is a vibrant eclectic and deeply meaningful art movement that honors the past while embracing the future. 11. Simple Warli Compositions: Guys, this is my favorite section.

These compositions, they illustrate how Wali art can be used to convey a range of subjects while maintaining the hallmark simplicity of the style. First composition captures the essence of Wali tribes agrarian way of life. One of the key themes in Bali painting is the process of sowing seeds and harvesting crops. These activities are central to the barley way of life, symbolizing fertility growth and sustainance. The act of sowing is often shown through simple geometric figures of people bending over, planting seeds into the Earth, fertile land I have represented as a nurturing force and the farmer's labor is celebrated as essential to the community's survival. What I have depicted here in my artwork is a simple farming scene from the fields. The farmers here have a flow with them and notice the use of dots in various sizes here used to depict the land and seed sowing activities.

The freedom of abstraction allows for creative exploration. What is depicted here is a tarpa dance form.

The careful arrangement of these shapes also signifies balance, unity, and the cyclical nature of existence. Next, what I have shown is a scene depicting riverside. This captures the serene beauty and importance of water in tribal life. The river is often shown with flowing lines or dots surrounded by simple yet powerful symbols of nature, such as fish, trees, people engaged in daily activities like fishing or gathering water. These scenes highlight the river's role as a life giving force, sustaining the community and their crops as well.
