Zentangle+Art

Objective : Beginning lesson for design. Students will be able to create an original 3D collage self portrait, that demonstrates understanding of composition through the use of line, form, shape, pattern, texture, balance, and movement (inspired by Zentangles), and be able to identify and distinguish through speaking or writing about the art development, meaning and art process through the expressive features of art..


 * Examples: **

Step one: Find three dynamic and interesting portraits of yourself. Use one of your selfies or consider a full body shot. Print out. Step Two: Take a look at these amazing websites for ideas.

Step three : Create three ideas in your sketchbook using the one of portraits. Practice making zentangles while incorporating the pictures of yourself. Think thirds and movement! Ask your table which composition is better. Step four: Go with the chosen composition and create a final piece. Then, cut out the parts, including your photo...glue onto mat board and create a 3D collage. Meaning, this is a collage, therefore the zentangle could be raised from the surface, or the portrait could be raised. Things will be cut out and glued onto other sheets of paper, cardboard, different materials and then glued together into an original composition. Bottom line: they have to be combined in a composition that has a 3D surface. //__See example below of raised zentangle drawing.__//
