    The aims and objective of this workshop is to discover the possibilities of Mandala Arts using a
    variety of nature’s loose parts as a medium for imagination and self-expression. It also focused on
    the developing skills in concentration, focus attention, balance and mindfulness through
    engagement in the process. To considwe the adaption and application of this workshop for the
    children in my setting.

    Mandalas are circles, and are used as symbols of creativity, power, and connection with the
    universe.

    Group Organisation

    This workshop began with a demonstration from the lecturer on mandala art . Afterwards, she
    invited us to all pick our own mix materials from her selections and commence creating our own
    individual mandala art.

    Location: Class Room

    Introduction of the Session

    While we were out after the last workshop, the lecturer had placed on our table handouts on
    Mandala art. She asked if anyone was familiar with the art. I had never heard of the Manadal but I
    have seen similar activies created from other materials. A mandala is a sacred, circular, geometric
    design that is symbolic in Buddhist and Hindu cultures.

    Mandala translates to "circle" in Sanskrit, the classical language of India, Hinduism, Buddhism and
    Jainism.

    Most commonly, mandalas are circles with intricate, detailed patterns, joining together with a
    single, central point.

    How are mandalas used? A mandala is a spiritual and ritual symboloften used
    in prayer and meditation in Asian cultures, as they are seen to represent the different aspects of the
    universe. The purpose of the mandala is to help enlighten the mind, assisting with healing during
    meditation (https://www.twinkl.ie/teaching-wiki/mandala) Today, mandalas are commonly used in
    yoga practices. A wide range of different loose nature parts were displayed on the floor and we
    were invited to make selection of whatever we needed in creating our individual mandala. The
    lecturer had already demonstrated to the class how to begin the approach. She had draw circle in
    the middle of the page and went round doing the same. She placed a pinecone in the centre part of
    the circle and told us everything is built from the circle until completion; however everyone is free to
    explore different ways of doing their.
