Culture Mandala 

Henna Hand 

I will grade what you do each class. 

Culture Mandala

Assignment description: 

In this project, you will create a personal mandala based on images from your cultural heritage.

You could also use a sunburst or tattoo instead of a mandala.

Variation: Instead of your cultural heritage, you could use images based on an interest of yours. For example, if you love soccer, the design could be based on that.

Or, if you absolutely, positively, do not want to do Photoshop, this would work, in colored pencil and markers. Same idea, show your cultural heritage. Google henna hand for more ideas.
