Abstract | Mehndi, a traditional art form that dates back to before the twelfth century A.D., are temporary works of art created by painting with henna plant extract. Henna stain found on the fingers and toes of mummified pharaohs has led some people to believe that mehndi can be traced back to ancient Egypt. Indian weddings are not complete without a mehndi ceremony where the bride's hands and feet are adorned with henna ink. In this article, the author describes how her fifth-grade students made mehndi art using a wet-on-dry watercolor technique. (ERIC). |
