Your mandala must include at least 3 different colours from the colour symbolism chart (which 3 colours do you think best represent the personality of your selected character?)

Your mandala must also include at least 3 different symbols that represent your character. For example, if your character is hard working, maybe you will include an image of a bee to show how, like bees, your character is hardworking and dedicated.

Once you are done creating your mandala, you will write me 1 paragraph explaining the colours and symbols that you have selected to represent your character.
