Zentangle Birds

Birds! Birds! Birds!

4th - 5th grade students created beautiful tropical zentangle birds.

They have been learning to draw from photo. I coach students to look at size, shape, and placement as they draw. Look draw, look draw, look draw!  Break down the photo into shapes and lines.

 What type of line do you see? What does the shape look like? Where is the shape? Is it high? Low? In the middle? 

 Students draw the birds then outline using black glue (Black acrylic paint mixed with Elmers).  Once dry, they watercolored their birds.

Students had artistic freedom to choose where to place zentangles. Delightful results!
