I think all art teachers have done some version of a mandala or kaleidoscopic image with their students. After all, it is an awesome art activity to learn about radial balance! So, students had to include their name and three things that they like in their design. i wrote my last name in cursive, drew a thread with a needle, an orchid and a zebra longwing butterfly. Here is my example design:
The students enjoyed this assignment, although the transfer process can be a little complex for some. It is so cool how those things that are drawn make their own unplanned design elements when the mirror image is added. In the future, I believe we will not use watercolor washes on it so they can be more vibrant.
