This is my personal Mandala. The group started by explaining the history of mandalas and the process people go though making them. They showed a video showing this process, which was really a cool visual representation of making real mandala's. The elements they showed were, lines, balance, color, repetition and symmetry. For my Mandala design I started with a cross in the middle to show my faith. The argyle design showed the symmetry and balance and it is a design I really find intriguing. Inside each fourth of the design I have basketballs, footballs and baseballs to show my love for those sports. I found it difficult to keep each sports ball the same size, but other than that I feel like I was able to show all the elements needed in this project. I think this was a fun project to do. For an extension you could have your students do something in each fourth of the mandala to represent each season of the year for a science extension.
