Mandala Research

To prepare for planning and designing you will research mandalas created in multiple cultures and across time. Pay attention to the images, symbols, and colors to which you are attracted. Consider your search words carefully. It is possible to work from images but be sure that you can get the information such as the culture, date, and if possible artist AND be able to explain what it is that you like about the mandalas that you selected.

Each person should create a minimum of three slides.

Follow the link to the Google Presentation for your class period and follow the directions below. Please use your classmates as resources if you have problems creating the slides.
