Zen Garden Mind Map and Concept

This is my mind map for the Zen Garden project we were assigned. The point was to see what we thought of as Zen being the central word. We then needed to branch off and continue connecting words to one another. This process then allowed us to come up with a central theme that we wanted to make our project about. For me I had two ideas, this idea of Earthly Movements, birds, wind, trees, all of these elements that move or my other idea was this idea of Friends and Pictures, spending time by a fire, playing music and having conversation. I ended up following the Earthly Movements theme and branched off a few ideas there and ran with it.

These were just four small pictures of the idea I was planning on running with, a sky with clouds, a willow tree, birds and leaves.
