Calkins- 6th Grade Printmaking Mandalas

Mandala is a Sanskrit word that means "circle". In the Buddhist and Hindu religious traditions their sacred art often takes a mandala form. The basic form of most Hindu and Buddhist mandalas is a square with four gates containing a circle with a center point. Students created their mandala prints using linoleum and water based inks. They were also taught about radial balance, the history of printmaking and its influence on art history. Enjoy!
