Thom Kulp shares one of his mandala pieces in the lotus style. This traditional piece of religious artwork will be taught during a class in July at the York Art Association. |
PENNSYLVANIA---The circle of a mandala can fool an artist. The simple shape can seem just that — simple. But the geometric figure that represents the universe in Hindu and Buddhist symbolism can take its creator on a journey, said art teacher Thom Kulp. The Harrisburg Art Association instructor found the number of his students was dwindling, and he decided to look for other forms of art to introduce in his classes. When he discovered mandalas, he found a vast background on a traditional piece of art that lends one to a spiritual experience. He plans to bring the passion behind the mandala to the York Art Association in July. "The concept is you are creating a visual representation of your interior world and the exterior reality," Kulp said.
