Mandalas have some hidden benefits for learning. Creating a mandala around a theme/concept/curriculum can do two things: 1. Using a few simple motifs from that content area will result in a sophisticated visual.
2. Working with the content visuals to create a mandala is a deep dive into the content and can transfer that information into long term memory. One more benefit is that a mandala can be made about any subject area: science, social emotional, math, literature, nature or even a very unique family photo!
My new resource – Mandalas & Nature Photography comes with the photographs, step by step visuals, tools and tips for you to make your own mandala and/or make more with your students. Have fun! Kimberly J.B. Smith
