This is the process of making my mandala. To create this I used a protractor, a ruler, and a compass. I wanted my mandala to be the best it could be. This means there was a lot of perfecting throughout the project.
I first started by freestyling on a piece of paper and then making a couple drafts of it.
I then drew my mandala onto wood and began painting.
I restarted my mandala because I felt like it wasn't my best work.
I found new painting techniques the and improved my mandala.
I thought I was done there but I then decided to outline the shapes with a metallic paint pen.
Finally, I decided to bring back some of the extra lines from the first draft and this became the final mandala.
♡ Translations and transformations ♡
Line bisector: A line that goes through another line perpendicularly. This is shown with the blue lines.
Angle bisector: A line that goes through an angle. This is shown with the orange lines going through the blue.
Translation: A shape that moves without changing size. This is shown with the green squares.
Dilation: A shape increasing or decreasing in size. This is shown with the pink circles increasing in size.
Reflection: A shape that you copy exactly by just flipping it. This is shown with the red diamonds.
Rotation: A shape that has been turned a certain amount of degrees. This is shown with the green squares I rotated to become diamond looking.
