Recently, we discussed what Illuminated Manuscripts are and how the artwork used to create them is of historical significance. We discussed how each book created during the Medieval times had to be written by hand and that some of the pages were beautifully and ornately decorated. Students chose a letter (this could be an initial of their first, last or middle name) and rewrote it in a font of their choice. Students then created their version of an "Illuminated Manuscript" by including other decorative elements. See the finished examples below!

This week in art, we began to work on our Radial Design Mandalas. This project will focus on color theory, connections to math as well as cultural connections. Students learned where Mandalas came from and created 4 preliminary sketches. Each sketch features 8 "pie slices" that are identical and repeat. This creates a radial design. Students also had to decide how to color each of the 4 quadrants using 4 different color schemes. Work will be posted soon!
