Do You Zentangle?

Well, it's been a while since I paid attention to this blog. I thought it was about time to remedy that fact.  We are into our third week of Art Studio. The first two weeks were with K-3 grade students. They did amazing work! This week and next we're working with 4-6 graders. I'm amazed at how much more art stamina these older kiddos have in comparison to the younger group. And we are seeing some fantastic art! So....do you Zentangle? You probably do and didn't even know that you did. What is Zentangle? Well, it's basically doodling. Doodling in repeated patterns. Today we did a lot of Zentangle. The students were in heaven! They totally took off with this, and we heard all kinds of moans and groans when we had to stop to clean up. It's definitely something we'll keep at one of our "stations." Here are some examples that students created today:

So cool, eh?

Get your black Sharpie two-sided pen out and get Zentangling!
