Mandala Art Lesson as Art Sub Plan

Mandala Art Lesson as Elementary and Middle School Art Sub Plan



How do you draw a mandala? Here are photos of beautiful ones from Arts&Activities Magazine from 1983. When I originally wrote this blog post, they have the article that would accompany these, online. The blog post sharing how to create these, no longer exists, unfortunately.

The second best thing I can post here is another option for a mandala that an art sub can teach.


This lesson includes templates and examples that a sub could use to lead this lesson. Check it out at Cool Classroom Stuff's TPT Shop:  Create Insect Designs with Radial Symmetry

  1. A mandala art lesson is a great choice for an art sub plan, since it’s structured, calming, and works well for different age groups. Even without the original guide, mandalas are still easy to teach using simple steps like symmetry, repetition, and basic geometric shapes.

  2. This describes a helpful classroom resource where mandala drawing is used as an accessible and structured art lesson for students, even if the original instructional article is no longer available.
