Mandala Art - Classroom Resources

Room 10 have taken an interest to Mandala art.  Mandala means circle in Tibetan and it is a sacred practice to Buddhists.  It helps with meditation, mindfulness and calmness.  We worked in groups to create Mandala art using classroom resources.  As we were creating them, we noticed that we were really focussed and wanted to make our Mandalas look tidy and symmetrical.  We are going to continue researching about Mandalas and how we can extend our thinking to Extended Abstract of the SOLO framework.  That means thinking beyond ourselves - which Mandalas help us to do.  Here are photos from this learning experience.
