USC Pacific Asia Museum (USC PAM) in Pasadena will be hosting a free mandala drawing workshop, which takes inspiration from flower motif designs. In this workshop, participants will learn how to create intricate geometric patterns using overlapping layouts of shapes and organic forms.
“Workshop@PAM: Flower Mandala Drawings” happens online on Thursday, May 20, 4 p.m., and will be taught by Los Angeles multi-disciplinary artist and educator Yeu Q Nguyen.

A mandala is a spiritual symbol in Buddhism and Hinduism, a representation of the universe with an inner and outer world. The word “mandala” comes from Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language, and directly translates to “circle.”
