UNITED KINGDOM - Students produced examples of stunning Indian-style art to mark the Hindu festival of Diwali. Almost 90 students from the Arts University College at Bournemouth worked with two specialists in ‘Rangolies’. They used rice, gravel, lentils and beans to create colourful designs and patterns to celebrate the annual festival, which began on Wednesday. The 10 different Rangolies are in the graphics studio and in the courtyard – but they may not be visible for very long. The five-day festival is celebrated with fireworks, gifts and family meals, and commemorates the triumph of good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. [link]
