This week in Art, 8th graders have been taking a look at Zentangles - a drawing practice that emphasizes pattern and visual textures as well as focus and relaxation. If you've ever spent time "just doodling" you might have noticed how it can have a calming effect. Zentangles are kind of like thoughtful doodles that can turn into meaningful designs.
To prepare for a more final artwork, 8th graders practiced drawing Zentangle patterns in their sketchbooks. Many created their own original patterns and visual textures, occasionally incorporating personal symbols and imagery. Can you spot some hidden symbols that might have deeper meaning within these sketches?
