Zentangle baby!! I recently took a class on Zentangles. As I have mentioned I would with some great people and Tana, known to you as MN Art Girl, brought this technique to our attention. We leaned the history and brief technique of Zentangles. I was amazed to see so many great sites out there supporting what I learned and how to teach it. Check out Zentangle.com, Tangle Patterns, and Beez in the Belfry for more ideas of what zentangles are all about. I also was amazed at how much is on Flickr.
The image above is a section of a larger image. Our instructor challenged us to create one tile that will later be put together with other tiles to make a completed image. I will be sure to share that if I get to see it.
Love it! I will def. check it out. Yeah for this great idea..to you and Tana! Love blogging these fun ideas!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI did Zendalas with my 6th graders and they came out great. I think it was the most successful project as they kept doing them outside the classroom. Even teachers were doing them and bringing them to me! So fun! I'm teaching a workshop on them at the next NY art teachers conference.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I can't wait to try this myself as well as introduce it to students. Thanks for the idea & links...
