For the month of October in both my 7th and 8th grade classes we are focusing on the art element LINE. Each student chose an image of their choosing. It had to be of a face, but it could be of any person they liked--Most chose singers, actors, etc...The goal of the assignment was to break up the face by adding "flowing" lines from the different breaks. Once they created the "flows" they were to use line as their focus (many got their line design inspiration here), eventually adding sharpie to really make the lines pop. The images below are still works in progress, but beautiful none the less. I can't wait to see the finished results!
When students complete any of their assignments early in the month of October they are to be working on Zentangles.
They work on a 6X6 piece of white drawing paper and are to only use sharpie (no pencils). The goal is they aren't to worry about the final result, but the process (to sort of create a "zen-like" experience).
