Mandala Research

9/24//24 ?What is mandala?

The mandala is from Everythingart.com

What is a mandala used from to focus the mind on meditation, teach people in religious training, and guide a meditating person to spiritual healing and enlightenment.

Mandalas are used in Tibet.

Mandalas are used for meditation.

For the principles of design, I see variety, pattern, and rhythm.

The Aztecs used it to tell time. Native American culture also celebrated mandalas. They believed that the mandala's round shape represented the circle of life, a totem of good luck and they used them in ceremonies and rituals.

I painted and drew the Chem VAS logo. I used sketchpad to complete this assignment. By using a drawing pad it helped me feel the drawing more, than just using the mouse pad. I used different types of principles of design to help the design have more value. I used pattern on the M and S. I used a variety of color and unity as well. My theme of the design is more of a school/ grafiti. I like the free time and use of sketchpad to draw something unique. I use sketch pad to paint a picuture for another chem vas project.

But is it art 7/27/24

Art should have very special meanings or looks. Art can be designed in many different ways but it should have meaning. Art to me can be a beautiful painting with no meaning, or something painted by a baby but has meanings. Art can be made like a replica out of any material. But in my opinion it should have meaning or atleast beauty. Art shouldn’t be random items with no meaning. You can make art about history. Most famous art pieces were history. For example Napoleon crossing the alps The painting has meaning and beauty. Art to me shouldn’t be random items or random things mixed together as a painting. If theres a painting of a random object, it should Art should have meaning and stories behind it or be beautiful at least.

Maker Gear: Build your own Apron

Summary:

Making an apron was the most fun and greatest learning experience, I've done in the school year so . I learned how to use an sewing machine and how to make an apron with all of its steps. And at the end of the project, I'm fine with how my apron looks like. In my opinion, I think I did a good job for a first time.

Research:

Development:

The development of my apron was slowly growing. I had a slow start, and was a little behind, but once I understood the step I was stuck on. I went from growing slowly to exponentially.

Prototype:

The prototype was the paper outline with numbers, that told us which places to cut the apron.

Evaluate and test:

The aprons durability is strong. There're no cuts, and Sharpe things pointing out.
