S h A P EIntroduction to
A two-dimensional area enclosed by line or color that’s
flat with only the dimensions of height and width.
Shapes are divided into 2 categories: organic and
geometric.
SHAPE
GeometricMade by man, precise and described using mathematical
OrganicGenerally made by nature
and are irregular and uneven
Types of Shape
COLLAGE MANDALA
What is a mandala? • A mandala is an abstract radial
design. In fact, "mandala" is a
Sanskrit word that means "circle".
Mandalas generally have one
identifiable center point, from
which radiates an array of
symbols, shapes and colors.
• Mandalas can contain both
geometric and organic forms.
They can also contain
recognizable images that carry
meaning for the person who is
creating it.
You are going to create your very
own MANDALA using Radial
Symmetry!
Radial Symmetry:
A balance
arrangement that
results from the
repetitive placement of
elements radiating out
from a central point.
How to Make a
Mandala:•Draw two diagonal lines from
corner to corner.
•Draw a vertical and horizontal
line where those lines cross
•Then draw the circle with a
compass starting in the middle of
the converging lines and make
sure it touches the outside of the
square
Make sure the design RADIATES
from the center!
Start with one “pie” piece and then
just continue around the circle.
You will design 6 different mandalas.
Be creative!
Collage Basics
Collage Basics
As a medium:Flexible
Multi-dimensional
Unlimited possibilities
Collage derives from
the French word coller,
which means “to glue”.
In many collages, artists layer shapes, color, and
other items onto a single surface to create a multi-
layered composition with the illusion of depth.

Stained paper
There’s a lot of flexibility when working in collage, considering the
endless list of materials to choose from.

Fibers and other objectsNewspaper and cardboard
Explore the many ways that you can attach collage elements to
your design. Consider gluing, stitching, and other modes of
adhesive (within good judgement).
1. Think about what shapes make up the features of your mandala design.
2. Begin with a piece of construction paper (12”x12”). Pick your best sketch and
use the ruler and compass tools to recreate your final design.
3. Pay careful attention to the size and placement of each object and where it
will go on your design.
4. Cut the main pieces first, such as the ones that make up the largest portion of
your design.
5. Glue the main shapes onto the large piece of construction paper.
6. Experiment with pieces that will make up the other shapes of your mandala.
Practice overlapping the pieces to create a sense of space or depth. Change
the size and/or placement of the pieces as needed.
7. Glue all the shapes to complete the collage.
When constructing your
collage
Requirements
• Create a radial balanced, symmetrical design. You may use recognizable objects, geometric, and/or organic shapes.
• Must choose three or more collage elements.
• Leave very little negative space in your design.
• Use collage for the medium. Think about newspaper, construction paper, magazine clippings, fabrics, photographs, textured paper, smaller found objects (e.g. buttons, thread), etc.
• Use good craftsmanship.
• You will begin on a 12”x12” piece of construction paper.
