5th Grade - Zentangle

5th grade had a lot of fun with the opportunity to tell a little about themselves with this Zentangle project.  We started with a letter or shape, and then divided it up into different sections using a variety of lines and patterns.  Then each section was filled with symbols, pictures or words that described some aspect of their personality.  The result is a very unique project from each student.  Take a look at just a few awesome examples from the 5th graders!

5th Grade - Zentangle Portraits

5th graders got a taste of a new form of art called Zentangle.  For this project, I traced each student's silhouette onto a piece of paper, which they then filled in with different patterns and designs that in some way described them or shared their interests.  The finished products look nice, but the best part for me was that it gave me a chance to get to know the 5th graders.  It was awesome to see how many of us had so much in common.
