I valued the tiny parts of creating my personal mandala. While my mandala is black and white there are so many different shapes and lines weaved together to make it exciting. There is a lot of small fragments in my mandala which helped me to understand that even the small things matter even when this piece grew to be huge. Each line has its purpose and contributes to the mandala as a whole. I loved seeing how the program made what I did to one side appear on the other. This reminded me of how there are consciences to everything, every action taken, there is a positive or negative effect. Even the smallest line still showed up on the other pieces of the mandala. This also applies to growth. While digital media can be hard for me at times, because everything is so new, starting small and building knowledge piece by piece can give me a better understanding. All of the small and big parts of my mandala came together and I am happy with the piece of art that came from it.
"Who am I?", This is a question that I am still searching for and learning everyday. I am someone who goes with the flow and doesn't like planning too far in the future. Though I am still learning about myself everyday I don't think I would be able to fully answer who I am until I have lived out my whole life. I still have my whole life to figure out who I am. One thing is for sure, I love doing new things and love to be outside. This project has taught me more about myself. I have learned that I am more patient then I thought, as I ran into several issues. These issues lead me to learn more from my mistakes and have a laugh from my past failures. I felt relaxed from making this design after moving past the small road blocks. I loved doing this mandala because I didn't plan it out through played around with new brushes and experimenting different movements with my tools. I went with what I felt would look best with the design and was able to create something that I love and think is beautiful.
