The next step in our exploration of Mandala artwork, was to create personal Mandalas.  We call them, “Mandalas About Me”.  Each student translates their passions, strengths, and / or personal characteristics into symbols.  The symbols are repeated in concentric circles to create these stunning art pieces.  We hung them around the perimeter of our classroom so that we are reminded of all the unique individuals that make up Division 6.  It is also another natural way to reflect on the Core Competencies as we focus on “building from our strengths”.
