Create easy, beautiful and colorful mandalas with intention and purpose, on Photoshop!

Art is a wonderful way to communicate without words. In this class you will learn how to illustrate with meaning, using nature as your source of inspiration to understand your own personal and unique nature! In this class, we will create powerful and unique mandalas based on our own dreams and desires. This class is not about improving the skill of drawing, but about improving the skill of creating from the heart. You are invited to use this class as a self-care activity, where you will practice creating art while reflecting on your life.

By understanding the Earth element, you will illustrate structure, practicality, accomplishing things and bringing your dreams into reality.
By understanding Fire, you will illustrate fun, joy, passions and moving up and forward in life, no matter where that takes you.
By understanding Air, you will illustrate clarity of mind, better ideas, effective communication and knowing what you want in life.
By understanding Water, you will illustrate self-love, emotional balance, persistence and the certainty that inevitably you will get where you want to be, sooner or later.

Mandalas are a sacred type of art that can be found in many different cultures throughout history. It represents the perfect balance found in nature, that symmetry we can find in so many structures around us, like flowers, spider webs and snow flakes. By creating perfectly symmetrical mandalas in this class, you will be invited to reflect on your life, your feelings, challenges and desires.
