3. Mandala–Due Monday! Here’s to our Mandala’s revealing our inner beauty! Remember:

• Your base structure of your mandala should be a series of geometric shapes. The primary, and largest, shape must be a geometric shape.  Within there must be an arrangement of smaller geometric shapes.
• All geometric shapes must be PRECISE. The craftsmanship in general should be precise.
• The Mandala should use colors meaningfully. Meaning, you should be able to explain why you chose the colors you chose.
• All visuals beyond the base structure should be purposeful and powerful. Meaning, there should be a rationale for everything present in your Mandala and that rationale should be of great significance to you. Further, the images should be aesthetically pleasing in presentation.
• The Mandala should reflect great creative effort!
• The Mandala should reflect great overall effort!
• The Mandala should reflect you!
