Mandala Art

WALT: Investigate information about Mandalas
Kia ora, Talofa, Malo, Bula, and many more greetings to you all. Welcome back to my blog. Today, I was to work on investigating on Mandala art. The word Mandala has a meaning to it. The word Mandala comes from a sanskrit word that generally means circle.
Here is an e.g of my Mandala art I have created.

Room 10 have been learning about Mandala art.  Mandala means circle in Tibetan, and used by some Buddhists as a means of meditation, calmness, and mindfulness.

To begin with, the word MANDALA has a meaning to it. The word Mandala comes from a Sanskrit word that usually means circle in Tibetan, Buddhist. Circle has been chosen for the word Mandala because it represents wholeness and universe. A diagram reminding us of a relation to infinity. - The state or a number greater than any assignable quantity. Also a symbol.

Mandala appears to us all in aspects; known as the Sun, Moon, Earth. Many Mandalas have a story behind it and could also help us relax as we let our minds free away. Mandala art is a strategy that can help us achieve stressness. Mandala is also an art that can be created by individuals to symbolize their journeys from life. Plus, it also reminds us of the deity of the gods. Furthermore, Mandalas are represented by a circular of figure representing the universe of Hindu and Buddhist symbolism.

In Conclusion, this is important because

For an example, here is the Mandala art that I created to represent my Family.

If you would like to create a Mandala, I know that there will be many materials around you. You can make Mandalas by using nature and indoor materials. When people make Mandalas, they have a story and a message behind each design they create.

You can use a cloth, stone, paper, and even walls to create a Mandala. The main point of this, is that creating a Mandala art can help you bring inner peace and could also help you relax as your mind frees away.
