Zentangle on Marbled Paper (Suminagashi)
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.
These papers are Gorgeous!
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 learned about the Elements and Principles of Art and chose Principles of Art to showcase in their artwork.
This student chose to demonstrate the Principles of Art: Pattern and Balance in her artwork.
Other Principles of Art include Pattern, Emphasis, Variety, Unity, Balance, Rhythm and Movement, and Proportion.
We are currently working hard on these. More pictures to come later!!
