色彩理论曼陀罗

本活动适用于色彩理论复习课。我们与六年级学生共同创作了具有曼陀罗风格的设计，但仅绘制圆形装饰的一部分，而非完整圆周。该设计将被划分为七个扇形区域，每个区域均按我们在“色彩理论”中所学的色类进行着色：原色、间色、中性色、暖色、冷色、互补色、明度渐变。

绘制曼陀罗时，我们使用一张A4纸，并先画出2厘米宽的边框。将纸张竖向放置，在右侧长边上从右下角起向上量取12厘米高度，并在该位置向内2厘米处标出一个点（如下图所示）。

我们以该点为圆心、12厘米为半径，用圆规画出最大的半圆；随后再依需要画出四个更小的同心半圆。

若缺乏绘图工具或时间不足，无法自行测量并绘制半圆，可使用此处提供的练习纸——其上已预先印好半圆轮廓，学生只需在其上添加装饰图案即可：

在这些半圆轮廓上，我们开始用铅笔徒手绘制简洁的装饰纹样，填满圆环各层，同时也在外圈空白处添加花瓣、圆点、线条、三角形、火焰形、箭头、小圆点等元素。以下是我曾在黑板上示范的部分示例，以及学生用黑色永久性记号笔完成的富于想象力的创作：

若希望直接进入色彩环节，亦可采用下方提供的练习纸——其中已备有六种不同样式的现成曼陀罗装饰图案：

用黑色记号笔绘制完成的曼陀罗，以斜线划分为七个扇形区域，每个区域分别涂上一类颜色：原色、间色、中性色、明度渐变、暖色、冷色，以及任选的一对互补色。

使用彩铅完成着色后，将七个扇形区域依次剪下，拼合组装，并粘贴到一张更大的画纸上，相邻扇形之间留出细窄的白色空隙。

Mandala with Color Theory

This activity is suitable for a Color Theory revision. With 6th grade students, we created a mandala-style design, but drawing only a portion of the circular decoration, without making a complete circle. The design will be divided into seven sectors and each sector will be colored with a category of colors, according to the groups we have studied in the COLOR THEORY: primary, secondary, neutral, warm, cool, complementary, value scale.

To draw our mandala we use an A4 sheet and draw a 2 cm frame. Using the paper in portrait format, we measure a height of 12cm on the long side, starting from the lower right corner. At the height marked, we trace a point 2 cm inwards, as in the figure below.

We trace the largest semicircle with a compass, aiming at the point drawn with a radius of 12 cm, and then we trace 4 internal SEMICIRCLE as desired.

If we do not have the tools or the time to take measurements and trace the semicircles we can use the worksheets you find here with the semicircles already traced, on which the students can then draw the decorations:

On these semicircles we begin to draw simple freehand decorations with a pencil, filling the rings of the circle and also the outer space with petals, circles, lines, triangles, flames, arrows, points … Here below are some examples that I have proposed on the blackboard and the imaginative drawings by the students traced with a black permanent marker.

If we want to work directly with colors we can also use the worksheets with 6 different types of ready-made mandala decorations that you can find here below:

The mandalas drawn with the black marker have been divided into 7 sectors with oblique lines and each sector was colored with a category of colors: primary, secondary, neutral, value scale, warm, cool, and two complementary colors of your choice.

Once finished coloring with colored pencils, the sectors were cut out, assembled, and glued onto a larger drawing sheet, leaving a small white space between one sector and another.
