Chateri Gumani (Indian)
The Lion Hunt of Maharao Umed Singh of Kota, 1779
Create your own Lion Hunt painting! Project the image onto a blank wall. Tape a large sheet of paper onto the wall. Assign a small area of the image to each person. Take turns tracing the lines in the image onto the paper. (This may work best if those who are not tracing are working on something else independently, like reading.)
When everyone has had a turn, discuss everyone's observations. What did you notice about the lines? Where did the artist use straight lines, curved lines, bold lines, or sketchy lines? What other details did you notice? While you were looking closely and tracing, did you notice things that you hadn't noticed before?
To add color, move the paper to the side. Use watercolor or colored pencils to add color. Refer back to the projected image. How closely can you match the colors of the original?
