Mandala

       I sit down and I just look straight ahead. Everything is silent and the land of my Manadala is right in front of me. The idea of a Manadala for nature is to have the whole universe wrapped up into a single space. This is it right here. Everything that I need to nature is right here. I can relate this space to anyone who is interested in art or a person who is interested in learning another language.

       For people who like art, the art is right in front of you. You have beauty with every blade of grass and all the little things, such as the different colors of the grass and when the flowers start to come up. It can be the littlest things that could make the biggest difference. Every detail matters in nature just like every detail matters in art and if you take out just a small detail in either art or nature, it could change the idea of the message that it presents.

       For anyone who is interesting in learning another language, you will be able to describe nature very beautifully. Nature itself is a language and it is very complex. You can speak very fluently in the language however, the language has many different types. It is like the language of Chinese. Saying "I speak Chinese" is too vague, whereas "I speak Madarin Chinese" is a lot more specific. Saying that "I know nature" is simply too vague whereas "I know the forest" or "I know the desert" is a lot more specific.


       A mandala is a beautiful thing. This is my Mandala.


This piece stuck out to me a lot in both art and trying to learn a foreign language. A message that this message could say is be different because when you are different it can look a lot better than the basic action. All the green represents all the normal actions that we do and the yellow represent all the out of the ordinary actions. The green is the most basic and looks nice but doesn't look the best. The yellow looks more complex and while some parts of it don't look good which represents when we can go wrong, most of it looks amazing and it pops out. When it pops out people look at it and say "wow". So be different because the results that it can get are absolutely amazing.

       Learning a foreign language can also be seen when talking about this Mandala. Learning to describe everything in this picture is not easy and often requires a lot of teaching or research. Also understanding the language is very complicated. This is just one form of nature's language. It is something that very few people can understand. Very few people can get the theme of "Be different" in the picture. Some people may interpret it another way and find a different message. They may be right, but that isn't your language.
