In folk arts, you yourself prepare the 'canvas' - the surface on which to draw and the
colours with which you draw. That is why creating folk art is a very enriching experience.
This richness is reflected in the choice of their medium. In the days of past, several things
in nature such as soils of different shades, the juice of plants, leaves, tree bark, flowers,
fruits and even things like coal and cow-dung were used to prepare colours. The different
colours, various textures and patterns were used year after year, lending a simplicity to the
art. When we see these pictures, we realise that a picture drawn this way or the other can
look equally beautiful. What a deep thought this art conveys - and so easily ! In the Gond
style of art, we see that the outlines may vary a little from artist to artist but the designs
that fill it make the whole picture look lively and attractive. The designs include simple
textures achieved using dots, straight lines, dotted lines, curvy shapes and circles. Special
attention is given to the choice of various colours so that the total effect is amazing and
beautiful, In today's age of commercialisation many men have taken up Gond art. But the
roots of folk arts probably lie in women's daily chores like cleaning and decorating the
house, dealing with natural colours in the course of cooking and in their leisure time
activities.
