The Diva's Weekly Challenge is to add some blue. Living in Minnesota, I LOVE to travel to the ocean, so immediately I thought of water and waves when I read the challenge. Blue is also my favorite color...along with anything waves and swirls! I may add another drawing to the challenge if I get the time!!
Remember to check out The Diva's Blog and a whole bunch of awesome art!

This week's challenge was "monotangle." This was my third attempt at this week's challenge. Once I began drawing this one out I knew it was the one to share! I felt it needed something else, so I added a splash of color.

If you haven't checked out The Diva's Weekly Challenge, I highly recommend it! Even if you aren't into participating in the challenge, you will see some awesome art!

Enjoy!

So, I am sure most of you have already heard the buzz about Zentangles. I have been tangling and tangling so much that I can't seem to do anything else! seriously...

Back a few months ago I was searching around the internet for doodles and came across the Zentangles website. You can see it here. Since then, I organized a group of art teachers and had one of the CZT (certified zentangle teacher) out to our district to give us a class. We had a blast, although it went by way too fast!

I have incorporated "Tangle Time" into the art day with all the kids in my school. I set aside a whole week (remember, I only see the kids once a week for an hour) to teach the art of Zentangle. I am SO happy that the kids love this "new" art!!! So, back to "Tangle Time," instead of the dreaded "Free Draw" station I made a "Tangle Time" station. I have an index card box with laminated index cards that have different tangles on them. The kids can tangle in their sketchbooks, use a blank square piece of paper to create their own Zentangle, or choose from a variety of empty Zentagle tiles I have already made. So far, so good! Kids love it, I love it and even some of the assistants are getting into it! YEAH!

Check out a few of my Zentangles and Tangles that I have been working on...I will post some from the kids soon...enjoy!

This first one is for The Diva's Weekly Challengle, week 10. I thought I would give the challenge a try..."The Space Between." Check out The Diva's Blog, I know you will enjoy it!!!
