Artistic Meditaion~ ZENTANGLES

Using patterns, lines and shading, third graders used their creative skills and hard work to create some amazing Zentangles. The Zentangle® art form and method was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas in order to create beautiful images from repetitive patterns.

The Zentangle:

• Is completely abstract with no planned results
• Can be displayed from any direction
• Is an abstract non-representative art form with a collection of patterns, not a drawing of something
• Can be drawn with either hand
• Small enough to be drawn in 30 minutes
• Portable art form
• Not limited by technology
• A form of artistic meditation
• There is no right or wrong way
• Anyone can do it!!

Students stayed focused and worked hard to create some outstanding Zentangles:
