Today I have found a special land artist named James Brunt to design our project around. James' artwork uses only geometric patterns from natural materials wherever he is. You will notice that he incorporates many mandala radial designs in his artworks. We study mandalas in multiple ways in all of our 2-D 6-12 art classes. This project is great for every FPLS student or community member.
I will post many of James' beautiful artworks below for inspiration. If you would like to more of James' art and learn more about his process please check out this link: https://mymodernmet.com/james-brunt-ephemeral-art-mandalas/#.Wn3ZZ57YZmo.pinterest
Materials:
You may use any natural source that you find from nature around you. Try to choose elements with different or similar colors, textures, and shapes to help you create interesting patterns.
Directions:
Step 1:
Collect your materials.
Step 2:
Have fun and create a radial (circle pattern) using the materials that you have collected. Use a pattern to create interest or use a tree or large rock as an anchor for your artwork.
Enjoy this meditative process. Understand also that your first natural mandala or artwork may not be completely comparable to our example pictures BUT embrace the creativity and you are always able to start again.
As always, have fun and be creative!
