5th Grade- Zentangle on Marbled Paper

Zentangle on Marbled Paper
For this project, students learned about Japanese Paper Marbling and made a beautiful piece of marbled paper by placing Sumingashi inks on top of a still surface of water and delicately blowing across the surface to swirl the inks.  Each marbled paper is unique or a Monoprint. 
Students drew Zentangles on top of their marbled paper.  Zentangles are really neat because they are always unique and include lots of patterns and drawings all put together.  It is a fun and relaxing way to draw using lines, shapes, and patterns that increases, focus, creativity, and hand-eye coordination.  Students also created a focal point which is the part of an artwork that the viewer notices first.
