From our last newsletter, we had a great showing of young artists’ ducks and five lucky raffle winners!
Please join us in this next challenge for neighbors of all ages. Once again, we will draw five participants at random, and this time we will offer a $10 gift certificate to one of our Beaumont-Wilshire Fremont Street businesses of your choice.
At the core of the Calming Flurry of Snowflakes Artistic Challenge is a “Winter Snowflake Mandala.” A mandala is an ancient Eastern spiritual symbol of the universe and means “circle” in Sanskrit. Drawing and coloring a mandala can also be used as an aid to meditation, reducing stress and anxiety. Learn more and get inspired from our blog (www.bwnapdx.org and click Blog at the top of the home page), where, by the way, the 14 ducky drawings from the last issue’s contest are on display.
Using the design below as a starting point, create a snowflake in the style of a mandala. You can use straight lines, curves, a rainbow of colors, or black and white.
Submit creations (color photo or scan) by e-mail to info@bwnapdx.org with the artist’s name by February 14th. Contest winners will be announced after the deadline, and all submissions will be posted on our blog.
Let it snow!
