Symmetrical Mandala Drawings


Mandalas are a great way to teach and reinforce good coloured pencil techniques because they can be a small format. I teach this lesson to Grades 7-9. 
See all my instructions in my previous post HERE.
The hardest parts is 1) cutting out the circle, lol and 2) encouraging the kids to use alot of pressure and get rich saturated layer of colour.
