Today in Warren, students created individual Zentangles, making their mark. Students loved this relaxing activity.
Last Friday, Instrumental and Art focused on team building for the Fifth Grade Class. Part of the class started with Mr. Loomis, Instrumental Teacher, and made some incredibly loud music by banging with drum sticks on garbage cans. Meanwhile, the rest of the class made a collaborative Zentangle, drawing one stroke at a time with thin and thick Sharpies on a gigantic strip of orange paper. Then the groups swapped places, so everyone participated in both Enrichment activities. The Zentangle process is quite the opposite of banging on drums. The intent of creating Zentangles is to draw patterns and lines in spaces within shapes called "tangles" in a meditative sort of way such as listening to music without talking. The line and pattern on the page becomes the dialogue.
