Mandala to me is pretty similar to tessellations with how it's just one image used multiple times in a circle. To make a mandala I first found a photo I wanted to use, then I found a template that I could use with it, I used the magic tool in photoshop and clicked on one section of the layer. After that I moved that section to the image and adjusted it to match where I want to use. I then copied the image and pasted it into the template. Finally I just duplicated the layer enough times to fill in all of the sections. You can then delete the template layer and you have a mandala. I really enjoyed seeing the results of making a mandala. My favorite image was the third one. I struggled with lining up the sections properly. There is nothing else that I would really do differently.
To me, tessalation is when someone would take a normal photo and take a small portion of it and use multiple copies of that smaller photo to have a kaleidoscope effect. To create a tessellation I first started a new file in photoshop, then I create a guide layout from the view section. After that I took the photo I wanted to use and cropped out everything except a small portion that would be good for the tessellation. I then resized the photo to fit the squares and moved the photo over to my other file that will be worked on. You would then duplicate enough layers to fill in all the boxes and then distribute them so that there is one layer in each square. Then you rotate all of the layers individual until you are happy with what it turned out to be. then merge your layers and save it.
