Personal Mandalas
The word “mandala” originates from the
Sanskrit word for circle.

A mandala can be described as any form of circular geometric
design that contains symbols of a person’s inner self, guiding principles, and overall ideas
about the world.

The significance of objects within a mandala are conveyed by shape,
size, and color; they can be abstract designs or specific
images of people, places, and ideas that are central to a
person’s life.

For your first assignment, you will choose symbols and/or pictures
that are “central” to your life. What do they say about you?
What colors say what you want them to say? Why do you
choose the colors you choose for your symbol?

Every symbol you choose should have meaning to you, either as a family member, community member, or citizen. The color you choose for your symbol is
significant as well.
