By using this simple app to create interesting mandelas, students can grapple with a variety of art terms and concepts.   Explaining layering is easy with this app in the hands of students and the effects of changing elements such as size, position and shape are made explicit. 

Use Mixala to get students to demonstrate their understanding of balance or symmetry by asking them to create a work and share with an explanation of their composition.
