Pattern
An interdisciplinary course in textile design and elementary group theory. "The center of the mandala represents order and the realm of the gods, while the outside represents the chaos of the material world. We don't know if the mandalas were created using overt, systematic geometric knowledge or if this is an example of "geometric intuition" on the part of the artist, preceding the formalization of the math." © Copyright 1996, Pippa Drew and Dorothy Wallace, Dartmouth College |
