Line drawing of Rangoli and its relation to brain education: Short note and recorded self-learning

The visual system of brain has the potential of processing line-drawings when subjected to conscious experience step wise.

Successive drawing of Indian floor art of Rangoli (see GIF-video) was tried to work as an experiential learning and hand-on tool for self-learning by this educator and then use it a systematically transacted experience and for sharing.

Here is a Rangoli GIF, I created to improve my own visual intelligence as a part of action learning or self-learning.

According to neuro-science, there is a link between drawing and it's brain activation via its visual-cortex regions. The neurons in this region through sequential and step wise activities of drawing in early years in development of visual-cortex of brain which starts recognising an object through participation (when a teacher or caregiver models it) in the experience and helps in reproduction of the object when the child attempts drawing with recall or prompts.

Here is a collage showing six essential steps for drawing Rangoli which develop many cognitive skills

Rangoli which is mainly line drawings of Indian cultural tradition and its applications in intelligent process of visual intelligence or brain development is worth trying.

Research says that most kids are visual learners have have dormant Spatial Intelligence to assimilate information by modeled drawing. This has an implication that teachers must be trained to get well-versed with visual literacy skills - language and grammar of forms and shapes, lines and analogue drawings.

It has been found that line drawings experiences not only enhance picture reading and latter result into improved verbal intelligence too.
