In November 2008 we enjoyed an exciting and intriguing exhibition of fascinating Mandala paintings at “Jan Kiepura” Club Arts Centre in Sosnowiec city. This exhibition featured Mandala paintings  by local artists Kazimiera Sękiewicz-Pląder and Zbigniew Pląder.

Our students have prepared  beautiful set of patterns, which were created in computer program Tess, like for example this pattern with using letter " E ".

Here you can find interesting "Letters -patterns" :

Mandalas are wonderful example of Art inspired by mathematics. As for that reason we have decided to get to know more about Mandalas in different cultures, how them construct  with using traditional compasses and rulers as well as computer programmes, like for example Geogebra and Tess. That is our second task. Polish and Romanian students create their own Mandalas (mathematical mandalas) using computer programmes to prepare a set of mandalas ...
