Mandalas

A mandala is a piece of art that has radial symmetry. Several different cultures create mandalas, including Tibetan monks, who create them using colored sand.  Rose windows in churches are another example of a mandala. We traced circle templates and cut them out. Then we folded our paper 3 times to create 8 equal sections. We created designs inside them with sharpie markers. Whatever was added to one section, needed to be added to each of the sections, paying special attention to the size and placement of all of our lines and shapes.
