Process
The students divided into two groups according to skill and compatibility. Two group leaders were selected and the group decided how they wanted to illustrate their concerns. Students self-selected according to interests and skill level.

They researched their particular area and created symbols and drawings to illustrate their ideas. Following this, the symbols were used to create the design inside the mandala. This process was done through collaboration among the students, teacher, and artist in residence. The images were drawn onto the canvas.

The students used acrylic paint and were restricted to the primary colours and white to facilitate skill development in colour mixing.
