Today, I made Mandala Mania Design out of natural materials.
First, I explored my garden and found some flowers, sticks and leaves.
Second, I found a flat surface to display my art and lay out my findings.
Then, I started by putting a big flower in the centre and adding four big leaves around it.
Lastly, I put sticks in between the leves and added small flowers on its tip.
An interesting fact is that the word mandala translates to 'circle' in Sanskrit.
I learnt that ephemeral art is temporary art and is not meant or able to be saved for a long time.
I liked doing this Summer Learning Journey Task because I got to be creative.

Mōrena Sahil!
ReplyDeleteChris here, from the Summer Learning Journey.
Pai mahi on doing the Mandala Mania Kick Start activity! Tēnā koe for explaining the steps you took in completing this task. I didn’t know that about the Sanskrit translation of ‘mandala,’ that’s really cool!
I especially like the bigger flower you found! Is this from a garden you have? Or did you go searching for it? Well done on learning the term “ephemeral art” as well. Did this take you long to make?
Looking forward to what else you post during the Summer Learning Journey!
Ngā mihi,
Chris
Kia ora Chris,
DeleteThank you for commenting on my blog post and the feedback too.
No, I found the big flower broken outside my neighbour's house.
Yes, it took me a really long time to do this art because of me skipping a few steps and forgetting to click pictures some times.
Have you made a mandala art before?
Thank you so much!
I am looking forward to your reply.

Kia ora Sahil,
DeleteNo I haven't, but now that I know what it is I might!
Tēnā koe,
