Mandala drawings
Objectives:
I can demonstrate the ability to repeat simply lines and shapes in concentric circles
I can demonstrate the ability to create a design using repeated lines and shapes (repetition) to create radial symmetry
I can demonstrate the ability to neatly create and color my mandala
I can demonstrate an understanding of a mandala
I will show an understanding of the vocabulary for this unit through their application on my work of art:
Vocabulary:
Concentric- an image with a common center; such as rings around a middle, or ripples of water when rain drops onto a puddle, or a target
Design- repeating a pattern to create an overall look
Mandala- loosely translates to the word "circle"; it represents a wholeness or how the parts relate to the whole
Patterns- the uniform repetition of any element or combination of elements
Radial Symmetry- symmetry that is both vertical and horizontal; it creates a repeated pattern that is the same in all directions around the center; symmetry that rotates around a central point
Repetition- the process of repeating a line, shape, or element until it becomes a pattern
