Every culture in the world uses the concept of design having a central point; whether that be within their architectural designs, their analysis of nature's design and its perfection or the make up of man's spirit - the mandala is also an ancient Tibetan practice of working in harmony and reminding us that all things are temporary by constructing their mandalas with intricate, colourful sand patterns and then obsoleting them.
We introduce children to the mandala from a design perspective and ultimately revealing the practical applications, be that withing a mosaic floor design, a repeated pattern for a skirt etc. Keep watching this blog as this design principle develops with our young artists.
