LET'S ZENTANGLE!

LINEAR/PATTERN/TEXTURE
7TH GRADE ART WHEEL - 2ND QUARTER - 2016-2017

These young ones went to town on this assignment,
both with the watercolors and the doodling,
these days referred to as  "zentangling".

Youngsters Katelyne Gonzalez & Loreinice Zilabbo start us off with these very colorful
and fun doodles.

And speaking of colorful,
Roshni Powers paints this striking watercolor backdrop for her amazing zentangle design.

Alexa Trinidad tones it down a couple of notches
 with her sweet little girl and cat taking a stroll in the rain.

But then Amy Wang brings us back up again with this wild & wonderful doodle.
Looks like she spent hours and hours slaving over this,
which is probably what she did.

I always love when the kids pick a Primary Color Scheme to work in
 like Samantha Catacutan did.
For me personally,
it's really uplifting.

I also really like when the kids bring in text like Anushka Panjwani did here.
You can really see what's on their sweet young minds.

We end with this Surrealistic one by Sarah Noeng
I just love how she thought to dangle those fish hooks,
and that they are leading our eye to the queen of the ocean on the bottom left.
So cool!

  2. That's music to me, too Samantha. Your lines fairly sing with energy.

    1. I agree, Sam has an innate sense of design and it just flows out of her.
