Nature Mandala

The assignment was to make a mandala out of nature. I stated by gathering rocks and making a ring. I then filled the entire circle with dandelions that I picked. After that I decided a wanted to make a flow design in the center so I used more rocks and small purple flowers to create flower shape. 

I think that I used color and texture a lot. The bright yellow really stands out against the grey rocks and the tar. The different textures in my mandala also make it interesting. these things together make an interesting and natural composition. 

I like how pretty the yellow dandelions are, they remind me of worm weather. One challenge that I had while creating this that it was windy out and the flowers kept blowing all over the place. It took a few tries, but I finally got the picture before a gust of wind came by.
