The students had to choose a bug or insect to draw. Once they had it draw they had to use a ruler to divide the bug into 10 sections and then color every other section using warm and then cool colors of colored pencils. They then traced the silhouette of the bugs and glued all three down to a larger sheet of paper.

 
The students began this project by first learning about the history and traditions that came along with making Mandalas many, many years ago. They then had to come up with their own geometric design that would make up 1/8 of their "pie". They then chose 4 colors to fill in that design and glued a CD down to the middle of it. They continued their design onto the CD with markers.
