When making both my colored and black and white Mandalas I valued the lack of structure and a large amount of creative freedom in these assignments. I was able to draw whatever I wanted which I had a lot of fun with. I may not be the most talented sketch artist especially when using a mouse but I was able to bring my ideas to life and make a large interconnected drawing. I also valued that this assignment would serve as a fun and calming break from other school work.

This assignment also made me realize how much I like symbols and hidden references. In the process of making my black and white Mandala, I tried to throw in as many symbols as I could that were meaningful to me. Some of these may be more obvious such as the film reel because I’m a film student who enjoys films, but some of them would most likely only make sense to me. Normally when I play a video game or watch a movie I would be able to enjoy all the easter eggs the directors and developers added. When making my Mandala I got to feel like I was on the other side of the process making all the various easter eggs and references. Some video game developers use phrases such as “every pixel placed with care”, and I felt that in my Mandala I had an “every drawing drawn with care” policy. Related website
