The art of the dot - Kuladevy Elangovan

The Art of the Dot teaches the reader how to complete and create stunning kolams.

A
form of drawing that is practised in southern India, kolams are
geometrical line drawings composed of curved loops and straight lines, drawn around or over a grid
pattern of dots.

Art-lovers must follow the step-by-step guides
as they work
their way through beginner, intermediate and advanced designs.
Each
completed
kolam is a gorgeous geometric marvel that can be coloured in
and
decorated.

With an introduction from anthropologist and
kolam specialist, Anna Laine PhD, readers will soon be experts
themselves and can get creative with their own designs.
