Art and Craft

Humans have been creating art since ancient times.

Since they lived in caves, they began to draw about their

lives and the tools they used. We have learned a lot about

them through their drawings. Then they began painting Madhubani

and decorating the walls of their mud houses. Madhubani
and Warli were the two most famous ancient art forms.
