3rd Grade started the year with a Zentangle. If you aren't sure a Zentangle is, it is the art of doodling. The idea that doodling can be relaxing or zen like. And then adding that idea to create it's own picture or into another. In our case we started with an ocean landscape, like you were looking at all the layers of the ocean. Then at each layer we put patterns and rhythms to create the Zentangle.
Most Zentangles are black and white. But we added a some color to ours.
We talked about Value and what a Monochromatic Color Scheme is. I gave the kids some tip and techniques on how to create values with watercolor.
I encouraged them to use different colors then blue. But the ocean is blue, so most results were too.
Pretty AWESOME!!
(Stay tuned for 4th and 5th Grade Zentangles were we did a similar project but took influence from Hokusai's "Great Wave")
