"mindful mandalas"

background

The purpose of this lesson is to introduce the concept of mindfulness. Teaching students to be actively aware of their emotions can help them to understand many things.

Not only does mindfulness help students understand themselves, but it also teaches acceptance and not just tolerance.

teacher samples

I created a video of me presenting the lesson, objectives, and the step-by-step process of painting a mandala. This video replaced my in-person lesson due to the pandemic.

student samples

The students took their time creating multiple thumbnails of their mandalas. A few students struggled with keeping their designs symmetrical.
