In this one-time class, artists will learn to create a hand drawn mandala from start to finish! We will follow a step-by-step process so that learners will be able to create their very own unique piece of art. We will talk about the process, as well as a few principles and elements of design that can be seen in these artworks. We will also talk about the meditative and relaxing qualities of this art form. The goal is that by the end of this lesson, students will be able to create their own mandalas all on their own! Here is a breakdown of what to expect in this lesson: - Greeting - Introduction to the mandala - Step by step instruction - Share art with the group - Closing/ Goodbye Students will need some basic art supplies: paper, pencil, ruler, eraser, sharpener, and colouring pencils/ thin tip markers. * Please take into consideration that every artist works at their own pace. Students may not always have a full image completed by the end of our lesson, but they will have learned a new artistic technique! I would love to encourage each artist to continue to work on their images after class time is over. And of course, if students would like to share, please post images of their finished work in the classroom!
Learning Goals
In this lesson students should learn how to create a mandala from start to finish. We will discuss the principles and elements of design that can be found in these art forms: line, colour, pattern, and balance. Artists should be able to recreate the process independently after the class.

Hi there!
My name is Erica! I am an enthusiastic and creative teacher who is so excited for the opportunity to share my passions with my students!
A bit about me; I have a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Arts and a Masters in Art Therapy, so to say that the Creative Arts are important to me would be a huge understatement! Along with studying art/art therapy, I have over 15 years experience working directly with children and providing artistic lessons with a variety of mediums and art techniques. In fact, my whole life my goal has always been to provide young students with a strong foundation in the elements of art in a way that is fun and engaging. The reason this is my goal is that it is my firm belief that artistic practices are a fundamental way to encourage students to think outside the box; a skill which I find to be invaluable for development!
Whether teaching simple arts and crafts to younger kids, and/or teaching more advanced art theory to middle/high school students, I look forward to guiding each individual student in their own artistic and creative journey.
Along with art, I teach of variety of world geography classes that encompass my passion for travel. My World Explorers series cover locations in every continent of the globe! I have been a traveling the world for the last 8 years and I have been lucky enough to travel to 15 countries and live in Australia, Italy, and Croatia! I love to share my passion for the world travel with young children - it continuously inspires me to see them be excited about the places they want to travel!
Some fun facts about me:
- I am from Canada, but I have lived in Australia, Italy, and Croatia.
- I have a blue belt in Karate - I used to be a karate teacher too!
- My first time on a plane I was just 9 days old!Reviews
