You don't need to be an artist to take part in this online experience and discover the fascinating world of mandalas!
You’ll kick off your experience with a round of introductions, so you can get to know your guide and other guests. Then, you'll kick things off with an overview of mandala art, including what it is, the various types and its religious and cultural importance in India. It's more than just artwork: mandala drawing is a form of meditation that can help to clear your mind, build patience, and give you a sense of peace and positive energy.
Your host will show you how to make a mandala grid and will explain the basic patterns, the relevance of different shapes, and how to use the grid for symmetry. They’ll also explain how to use your breath while creating patterns, and how to make use of the environment around you for shape inspirations. Your host will check in on you while you’re drawing, and you’re free to ask questions as you go. They will also tell you about their own journey in mandala art and meditation, and show you some of their own personal art pieces. Once you’ve drawn your mandala, you’ll learn how to add color to your artwork and the meaning behind the colors you choose. Afterwards, your host will send you worksheets so you can continue to practice making mandalas on your own.
