E10 The One with the Mandala

Why not make a mandala AND a stew with the same ingredients?

This clip, featuring mural artist Anne Langdon and crochet artist Phil Ferguson, helps art students explore the use of mixed media to create form and shape. Students also learn about mandalas as pattern and as philosophy, exploring radial symmetry, as well as impermanence and practising non-attachment (a good one for sparking a conversation around art as mindfulness/meditation). Phil Ferguson (aka: @ChiliPhilly) teaches students that you can learn any skill you set your mind to by watching videos and doing your own research.
