A mandala is a tessellation of a photograph that forms unique geometric shapes. I created these circular madalas by using the template from Ms. Moncure. I used the wand tool to highlight one area of the template, then I moved that over my picture. I copy and pasted the part of the picture I wanted to tesselate into that slice of the template. I moved that slice back into the template and then repeatedly duplicated and transformed the pictures to form the complete madala. I liked all the cool shapes the madalas made. My favorite madala is the one with the black background. I struggled with the selection of the template at first because i was using the wrong tool. If I were to do it over again I would take more unique pictures that had more shape to them.
A tessellation is when a piece of a picture is repeated multiple times to create a unique shape. To make the tessellation I made a template. Then I cropped the piece of the picture I wanted to use. I then moved this piece into my template. I duplicated the image and transformed many times to make the tessellation. My favorite image is the first one on top, with all the green leaves. I Liked how the shapes turned out and the color. I struggled with actually making the shapes because I wouldn't flip them the right direction. If I had to do it over again I would take more pictures that had different colors.
