Zentangles

As part of drawing lessons the children are learning how to make different shapes and lines. I thought that making some Zentangles would be great practise for this. I found this lovely demonstration on line.

We watched the video right through and then collected together lots of black pens of varying thickness. We watched the video again pausing to draw after each pattern was demonstrated, not copying the video exactly, more seeking inspiration. 

Here's a great link for more Zentangle ideas.
