Mandala Art: More Than Just Pretty Circles (A Beginner’s Guide)
You’ve seen them on tapestries, adult coloring books, and Instagram feeds. But what actually is a Mandala?
What is the spiritual meaning of a Mandala?
In Sanskrit, “Mandala” means circle. It represents the universe and the idea that life is never-ending and interconnected. Creating a Mandala is not just drawing; it is a form of active meditation that balances the left (logical) and right (creative) hemispheres of the brain.
How to Start Mandala Art (For Beginners)
You don’t need expensive tools. Here is what we recommend at our Nanpura Art Studio:
- Start with a Grid: Use a compass and protractor. Symmetry is key.
- Repetition is Therapy: The act of drawing the same petal 50 times is what calms the nervous system.
- Use Fine Liners: A good black pen makes all the difference.
