Zentangle Bugs - Grade 1

 


Lesson Background:

As a part of our minibeasts unit, I decided to try making these zentangle bug artworks: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/mark-making-bugs-11278910


Lesson  Materials:

1 template enlarged onto A3 paper from https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/mark-making-bugs-11278910

1 black fine tipped texta


Lesson Steps:

1.  We watched this Youtube video and practised zentangle patterns on some scrap paper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXWB4VhyKSg

2.  I modelled examples of successful and unsuccessful (large shapes, spacing not thought out, big gaps, boring patterns, lack of symmetrical patterns) zentangles on the board and we agreed as a class on what we would all try to achieve in our artwork.

3.  The students used their practise zentangles plus the ideas on the template to draw their patterns in.

4.  The students then cut out their bugs.
