Kōlam is a traditional hand-drawn art form in Tamil Nadu and South India. Kōlam patterns are most commonly drawn with chalk or rice powder by women on the thresholds of homes and temples and are of significant cultural importance in Tamil society.

What it also embodies is a perfect symmetry of straight or curved lines built around or through a grid of dots. The designs have a recursive nature and their symmetry and recurring fractals in the design, are likened to mathematical models such as the Sierpinski triangle.

This project will let you use the Pen function in Scratch to generate recursive and symmetrical patterns that are inspired by Kōlam designs.

This project is suitable for Beginners.
