Marie's Mandala from Marie Camille on Vimeo.
The word "mandala" is from the classical Indian language of Sanskrit. Loosely translated to mean "circle," a mandala is far more than a simple shape. It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a model for the organizational structure of life itself--a cosmic diagram that reminds us of our relation to the infinite, the world that extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds.


Describing both material and non-material realities, the mandala appears in all aspects of life: the celestial circles we call earth, sun, and moon, as well as conceptual circles of friends, family, and community. -http://www.mandalaproject.org/What/Index.html


6th grade artists are beginning to work on their own sacred circles to describe their personal beliefs, traits, and characteristics.
