mandala inspriration

The first step in making my Mandala was the thought process which was thinking of what represents me in and putting it on paper. I had to represent myself as an element, an animal as well as something to do with my culture. Yes. I learnt numerous skills in the production of my Mandala, such as how to use various affects to the Mandala such as distortion, repetition and other various skills that have helped me in future projects, such as the road sign that I have made. When I was working on this project I felt like I was really connecting to what I was putting on paper. Yes. I had many difficulties during this project so I was a problem solver my asking questions so I could improve my work effort as well as the way my drawing turned out. I thought when I was first working on it that it would be a complete disaster but it turned out wonderfully, a lot better than I would have thought. I learned that art is not just pictures on canvas or paper a lot of emotions and feelings are poured into the design when an artist makes it. It was quite a revelation for me. As we did do these portraits about ourselves and our feelings the biggest connection I could make is to myself because this design is practically what I am.
