kolams ~ geometric circles

algebra ~ geometry ~ trigonometry
that's what we use to create intricate
sidewalk chalk art or a mural on canvas
mimbres river apache clay pots design

this program would be good for homeless shelter children
these circles will teach them to find beauty in structure

 The primary goal of the “Mural Project”, was to provide social, psychological, and emotional support to the youngsters who were experiencing various responses of fear, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress. The rationale behind the Mural Project was that art can serve as therapy for psychological and emotional trauma, and that through the process of creating art in a group, children and youth receive social support that helps them cope with their feelings of stress. N.
