00:01 Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Warli art for Textile design using Inkscape.
00:07 In this tutorial we will learn to create a Warli pattern design for borders, Repeat patterns using cloning
00:17 To record this tutorial, I am using

Ubuntu Linux 12.04 OS, Inkscape version 0.91

00:27 Let us open Inkscape. First let us design the warli pattern.
00:32 Go to File. Click on Document Properties.

Change the Orientation to Landscape. Close the dialog box

00:42 Select the Rectangle tool. Draw a rectangle covering the whole canvas and color it blue.
00:53 Click on the Ellipse tool. Draw a circle outside the canvas.

Then, click on the Selector tool.

01:02 On the Tool controls bar, change the width and height to 15.
01:08 Change its color to orange. Move it to the bottom of the canvas as shown.
01:15 Press Ctrl + D to duplicate the circle.
01:19 On the Tool controls bar change the width and height to 7.
01:25 Move the duplicated circle to the bottom left of the original circle.
01:31 This is the head of the warli figure.
01:34 Next, Go to Object menu. Click on Symbols options.

Click on Symbol set drop-down menu. Select Flow Chart Shapes.

01:46 A list of geometrical shapes appears. Click on the triangle shape and drag it to the canvas.

Change the color to orange. And remove the Stroke.

02:00 On the Tool controls bar, change the width and height to 20.
02:07 Press Ctrl + D to duplicate the triangle. Press V to flip it.
02:14 Arrange the triangles below the head, as shown.
02:21 This is the body of the warli figure.
02:24 Select the Rectangle tool. And draw a line in between the head and the body.
02:30 Now the neck of the figure is drawn.
02:33 Next let us draw the hands and legs. For this, we will select the Bezier tool.
02:41 Draw hands and legs as demonstrated.
02:47 Select both the hands and legs. Using the Picker tool on the Fill and Stroke, pick the orange color from the body of the warli art.
02:59 Change the Stroke width to 2.
03:02 Now select all the elements and press Ctrl + G to group them all together.
03:09 Now the warli figure is ready. Let us now create a round pattern with this warli figure.
03:17 Let me make a copy of this figure and keep it to one side, before proceeding further.
03:22 Now select the original warli art. Now, click once more on the figure, to make the anchor point visible.
03:30 Click on the anchor point and move it down as demonstrated.
03:36 Now go to Edit. Click on Clone and then on Create Tiled Clones.
03:42 In the dialog box, under Symmetry tab, the option in the drop-down menu should be Simple translation.
03:51 Then go to Shift tab. Under Per column option, change the X value to -100.
03:58 Next go to Rotation tab. Change the Per row and Per column parameters of the angle to 30.
04:07 At the bottom, let the number of rows be 1. Change the number of columns to 12.
04:14 Then click on Create button.
04:16 Observe the round pattern that is created on the canvas.
04:21 Let us now try some other options.
04:24 Under Rotation tab Change the Per row and Per column parameters of the angle to 10.Click on Create.
04:33 Observe the created pattern on the canvas. To make it a complete round pattern change the number of Rows to 40.
04:41 Click on Create. Observe the changes on the canvas.
04:46 In such a way, you can change the Rotation parameters to get the patterns in different angles.
04:53 Select the round pattern and press Ctrl + G to group them all together.
04:59 We now have a lovely warli art on our canvas.
05:04 Let's move it to one side, like this.
05:08 Now, let's try some other options.
05:11 Next, using the Create Spirals tool, draw a fairly large spiral on the canvas, as shown.
05:20 Click on the Selector tool. Select the single warli figure and place it at the centre of the spiral, like this.
05:27 Now click on Raise to top option on the Tool Controls bar.
05:32 Then, select the spiral too.
05:35 Click on Extensions menu and choose Generate from path option.
05:41 In the sub-menu that appears, select Scatter.
05:45 A dialog box opens on the screen. Here, check the Follow path orientation checkbox.
05:54 In Space between copies, we will say 5.
05:58 Ensure that - Original pattern will be is set to Moved and Duplicate the pattern before deformation is also checked.
06:08 Click on Apply button and close the dialog box.
06:12 Let's move the spiral warli pattern aside a little to expose the spiral path. Now, select the spiral path and delete it.
06:21 This is how one can draw a beautiful spiral warli pattern in Inkscape.
06:26 Likewise, we can create many other lovely warli patterns.
06:31 Next, let us learn how to create a border.
06:35 Go to Object menu and click on Symbols. Click on the triangle shape and drag it to the canvas.
06:42 On the Tool controls bar, change the width and height to 30.
06:47 Now move the triangle to the top left of the canvas.
06:52 I want to create a row pattern using the triangle.
06:56 Go to Edit. Click on Clone and then on Create Tiled Clones. All the previous settings are visible here..
07:06 In the Rotation tab, change the Angle parameter of Per Row and Per Column to 0.
07:13 In the Shift tab, under Per column option, change the X value to 0.
07:19 Lastly, change the Column to 35, at the bottom, as shown here. Then click on Create button.
07:27 Observe the row pattern that is created on the canvas.
07:31 Select all the triangles and press Ctrl + G to group them all together.
07:37 Press Ctrl + D to duplicate the triangle pattern. Press V to flip it.
07:43 Now move the pattern to the bottom of the canvas.
07:48 Our warli pattern is now ready. We can use this pattern as border in various textile design assignments.
07:55 This is how it looks on a kurti.
07:58 We can use this as a pillow cover design, also.
08:02 And this warli art looks great on a cloth bag, too.
08:06 So, in a similar way, you can create various textile patterns using the warli art form.
08:13 This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarize.
08:18 In this tutorial we have learnt to create Warli pattern for textiles, patterns using cloning
08:27 Here is an assignment for you. Create a peacock pattern design
08:33 Your completed assignment should look like this.
08:37 The video available at the following link summarizes the Spoken Tutorial project. Pls watch it.
08:43 The Spoken Tutorial Project Team conducts workshops and gives certificates for those who pass an online test. For more details, please write to us.
08:53 Spoken Tutorial Project is supported by the NMEICT, MHRD, Government of India.More information on this Mission is available at this link.
