Ink blots and Zen-tangles

Ink Blots and Zen-tangles Collide

Students had a bit of fun making ink blots, but we then filled all the open areas with Zen-tangles.  We talked about abstract art, and being inspired by opportunity and space.  We talked about treating each area of their ink blot as an opportunity not a challenge.  We later introduce the basics of color schemes.  The students were able to pick their own color scheme to incorporate into their art.  I think they are fabulous!  So are finished some are not but no matter what drawing level a student is at they turn out great.
