The thing I valued in making my black and white mandala was how relaxing it was. I could make one stroke and it would reflect around the rest of the design. It was really satisfying to watch the whole thing come together. I used various arc lengths and line lengths to make different shapes and illusions. The result of this was really cool because it made the whole thing look almost hypnotizing.
While creating my mandala I realized that I really like symmetrical things. I also like things that are very intricate and hypnotize people. Since this was my first time using Illustrator I was a bit confused as to how to get the tools to do what I wanted. With help from my teachers and classmates I was able to figure out enough of the tools to make a mandala that was very heavy on lines. This was including other illusions made with lines. I learned that I like things to be clean and neat, but at the same time very intricate.
