Today I’m continuing with Dearing Wang’s mandala drawing tutorials. This one is on the Seed of Life, one of the basic forms in sacred geometry. According to Dearing Wang “The Seed of Life Mandala pattern is created by seven overlapping circles in a symmetrical formation. It is believed by some that the symbol of the seven circles represent the 6 days of creation en the seventh day of rest.”
Enjoy!

I’m continuing today with more of Dearing Wang and his Drawing Mandalas Tutorials from Youtube. According to Dearing Wang this HeneyComb pattern is “A pattern within the language of sacred geometry. I am using the honeycomb geometric pattern to form an intricate tangled mandala pattern. The base form is part of the Seed of Life.”
Enjoy!

According to TEDTalks: “‘I am a mathematician, and I would like to stand on your roof.’ That is how Ron Eglash greeted many African families he met while researching the fractal patterns he’d noticed in villages across the continent.”
“”Ethno-mathematician” Ron Eglash is the author of African Fractals, a book that examines the fractal patterns underpinning architecture, art and design in many parts of Africa. By looking at aerial-view photos — and then following up with detailed research on the ground — Eglash discovered that many African villages are purposely laid out to form perfect fractals, with self-similar shapes repeated in the rooms of the house, and the house itself, and the clusters of houses in the village, in mathematically predictable patterns. ”
Enjoy this interesting talk.
For those of you not familiar with TED Talks here is a brief summery from www.ted.com: “TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer — TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize”
