COMMUNITY SAND MANDALA project CONTINUES

The Community Sand Mandala designed by Professor Patterson’s class, Art 205: Introduction to Visual Thinking: How To See, continues to grow.  Come try your hand at using the traditional metal funnel called a chak-pur used to create the sand mandala. The vibration of running a metal rod on the grated surface of the chak-pur causes the sands to flow like liquid onto the pre-drawn design.

You can also watch the Tibetan Buddhist Monks from Drepung Loseling Monastery continue their work on the Mandala Sand Painting. 

We are grateful to our co-sponsors the Lecture and Fine Arts Committee, Student Government Association, the Arts Alliance, and departments of music, philosophy & religious studies, English, art & art history, sociology, history, and international languages and cultures, the Asian Pacific American Club and Office of the Provost.
