Grade 4/5 Altered Zentangle Drawings
This was one of the first projects of the year, though I have only photographed them recently. It was going to be like a lesson I did in a previous year, but a couple of students reminded me that that they had already done it then – the shifting of split grades mixed me up. (I was horrified to realize that one of the few times I have repeated a lesson winds up being with students who can say ” We already did this with you, Mrs. Godwin” Yikes.)
So, quick thinking needed on my part (there were only three students having to repeat): we would do the cut and laminated zentangles as before but this time apply them onto black boxes instead of a flat sheet of black paper. Then we could hang them with monofilament from the ceiling … yeah! (Ducking the motion sensors, of course)
Our process for this project is described in my 2010 posting “Grade 3/4: Line Drawings Go 3D!”
