The students will watch a media
presentation of Tibetan art and culture to gain
knowledge of the people,customs and beliefs. They
will see examples of costumes, instruments for
making art and music,and acquire a background in
the culture by viewing slides,photographs and 3D
examples of artifacts such as jewelery and masks.
Students will look closely at Mandalas, discuss the
designs and shapes and provide examples of other
more familiar radial designs (ie: snowflakes, lace,
fruit and flower rings) and explore these
similarities. A discussion in small groups will
provide an opportunity to compare and contrast
Tibetan art forms,particularly the Mandala, to
examples of Western art and culture.
