When creating both my personal mandalas, I particularly enjoyed the freedom that I had. I felt like I could really do whatever I wanted to do without any real consequence. Since the process of creating the mandala was so relaxing, I started to loosen up and draw more random figures instead of the simple shapes I was drawing previously. Compared to our prior projects in Digital Media, I feel like this one was the most calming because I was able to really do whatever I wanted and my creativity produced something that I like looking at. In the colored mandala, it was interesting to see what the mandala looked like when I had developed it even more because it felt like a much more abstract piece to me when I looked at it. Overall, both the black and white and colored mandalas really caught my eye and allowed me to express my feelings really well, causing it to be one of my favorite projects.

I learned that I enjoyed the peacefulness that came with creating the mandalas. In my other reflections pieces, I analyzed how peace and freedom are the most important values to me, and I think that this project allowed me to further understand how much I really appreciate these values. Additionally, I learned that I really like simplistic things that are dense inside. For instance, in my mandala, I have many bands, and within each band, I drew a lot of other lines. I learned that this is one of my favorite types of designs, which is something that I never really knew or explored before. Related website
