Mandala

Today we made some Mandalas I know what your thinking how can you make Nelson Mandela but I mean Mandala the ancient Buddhist art. It is an art where you just let your mind flow and there is no such thing as a mistake - that was music to my ears. You start with a seed then link it off like a flower it is a very addictive art. You can do it with a pencil, pen,vivid and even sand. It is a mathematical art when I first heard it I thought how could maths be art? Be the I realised that all the lines have to be the same but just like I said there are no mistakes, unless you make one line bigger than the other. Then you just make up for it next time.  The Buddhist's made it out of coloured sand that they gathered from all the 4 corners of the world. Every single Mandala has a different meaning and I doubt you can make two the same.
