Practice making your own Zentangle patterns in your sketchbooks. Use your photos as inspiration and make little thumbnails to practice in small areas. Try to make at least 10 different patterns. Work in small- medium sized frames of any shape to see how your zentangle pattern looks contained in a shape. Just work in pencil for now.

Today:

As a class we will look at the space in the 10th grade wing where we can hang all the Zentangles together. Then you will practice creating your composition drafts. We will start with final drawing paper on Monday.

Closer: Review of what we learned today and what we will do tomorrow.

Learning Objectives: Students will be able to understand how pattern incopororates positive and negative space and be able to create their own patterns.

Essential Question: How do I self-identify? How do I see myself? How does pattern effect visual art?
