Art and drawing have a well-established history with the teaching and learning of anatomy, as symbolized by Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. However, its efficacy relatively declined in modern anatomy education. The purpose of this study was to survey students' views regarding the "anatomy Rangoli-making activity" and to discern if this art form may be implicated in anatomy education. In this group activity, the basic anatomical drawing of the specific structure was made on the floor, and then the different structures in the illustration were filled with relevant powdered Rangoli colors. The present study was conducted on seventy-eight first-year medical students who were willing to participate in the study. A mixed questionnaire regarding their opinion on the "anatomy Rangoli-making activity" was designed and feedback was taken from the students. The majority of the students replied that the Rangoli-making activity was interesting, promoted team spirit, and improved confidence to draw and understand the concept of the diagrams. The students agreed that it is an innovative method of anatomy learning. Almost 99% of students suggested incorporating such art activities in anatomy learning for future students. The enthusiastic response of the students to this activity is encouraging to introduce such art base activities in anatomy education and learning. Future multicenter studies on this learning method may be planned to check its efficacy.
艺术和绘画在解剖学的教学与学习方面有着悠久的历史，以列奥纳多·达·芬奇的《维特鲁威人》为象征。然而，在现代解剖学教育中，其功效相对下降。本研究的目的是调查学生对“解剖学 Rangoli 制作活动”的看法，并判断这种艺术形式是否可能与解剖学教育有关。在这个小组活动中，在地板上绘制特定结构的基本解剖图，然后用相关的 Rangoli 彩色粉末填充插图中的不同结构。本研究针对七十八名愿意参与研究的一年级医学生进行。设计了一份关于他们对“解剖学 Rangoli 制作活动”看法的混合问卷，并从学生那里获取反馈。大多数学生回答说，Rangoli 制作活动很有趣，促进了团队精神，并提高了绘制和理解图表概念的信心。学生们一致认为这是一种创新的解剖学学习方法。几乎 99%的学生建议为未来的学生在解剖学学习中纳入此类艺术活动。学生对这项活动的热情回应鼓励在解剖学教育和学习中引入此类基于艺术的活动。可能计划对这种学习方法进行未来的多中心研究，以检验其功效。
