When creating my mandala, I valued being able to create a piece of art while being in a somewhat meditative state. During the creation of my mandala I was never really worried about how it would look, because I was very relaxed when drawing it. I was relaxed to the point where I lost track of time and spent a little over an hour creating it. Being able to use art as stress reliever ultimately gave me a new view about mandalas and how they are made.
While making my mandala I learned that I am capable of making a piece of art that is calming, which I felt I wasn’t really capable of. I also learned that I am capable of being focused on a piece of art for a long period of time when I am in a similar state as to when I was making my mandala. If I were able to get into this state again, I think I could become very productive in completing other work as well. Lastly, being exposed to this new form of art has provided a stress reliever that is very effective, which I will most likely visit again in the future.
