Zentangle Flowers with Grade 4

Ask any fourth grader about what project they have been working on in Art and they would tell you in great length about their Zentangle flower!  In fact, this project has been all consuming since September!  Students first learned about the art of Zentangling, or sometimes known as purposeful doodling, in creating designs to calm and inspire.  Over the course of the next few weeks, students created flowers which encompassed these ideas.  With Zentanging, pencils are not used and the artist truly creates spontaneous designs organically.  Once their flower was filled with various Zentangles, students set to work to create a tinted background selecting a color and creating the tint scale of that color using white.  Students showed great perseverance and artistic growth in these pieces!
