Zentangle Zentangle to the rescue

The title of the unit was zentangle art. I got started in this unit by searching different zentangle patterns and drawing them in small boxes. The media and skills I used throughout the unit was a brown piece of paper and a sharpie and it was dry media. Some skills I used was practicing the zentangle patterns on paper before doing it on the brown paper. I used the media and skills well because by practicing the zentangle patterns on paper before the brown paper I didn't mess up doing the patterns in sharpie. I found some difficulty drawing some zentangle patterns. The art elements that I used throughout the unit was lines. I used lines when drawing the tree and in the zentangle patterns. The following principles I used was patterns and I used them throught the whole drawing.No, I didn't use any different compositional arrangements. The media that my final work was produced in dry media in a piece of brown paper. My work was two dimensional. Yes I was happy with the final result because I enjoyed doing it.I enjoyed the project because drawing zentangle patterns was relaxing and fun. None of my skills have improved during this project. New skills I've learned was to practice the patterns several of times before doing my final work. Zentangle started when one day Maria was telling Rick what she experienced while drawing backgrounds patterns on a manuscript she was creating describing her freedom, feelings of timelessness, well being, and complete focus without thinking. Rick told her she was describing meditation and they wondered if they could create a simple system for others for a similar experience. What it is, is a fun relaxing and easy way to create pretty images. It is enjoyed all over the world and you can do Zen tangles anywhere.
