Diwali is a holiday celebrated all over South Asia that celebrates the triumph of light over dark. In 2023, the holiday will be celebrated on Sunday November 12th! In this class, we will learn more about the artwork involved in the creation and lighting of diyas, or oil/ghee wick lamps that are lit on Diwali. We look at beautiful examples of Diwali diyas and observe details including their shapes, patterns, and lights. After that, we will create our own drawings of beautiful diyas. Learners may either copy designs they see in the examples, or make their own designs. I am looking forward to sharing this beautiful kind of artwork with your learners and see them create diyas drawings for bringing in light and peace in the world!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Brown University
I earned my BA in English from Washington University, and two Masters degrees in the Education field from Brown University and The George Washington University. I have taught learners in K-12 for over a decade in non-formal settings such as afterschool tutoring and weekend enrichment programs. In Hillsborough County, Florida, I was nominated at the SERVE Tutor of the year in 2012. I have also published poetry, magazine articles, and academic book chapters.
As a South Asian woman who has taught classes for youth on South Asian culture since 2020, I’m so excited to expand the class offerings to focus on this beautiful art form that have been a part of my family traditions for generations.Reviews
