1st, 2nd and 3rd Grade Art

I am always amazed at the level of focus and detail the young students achieve while creating Zentangle patterns. I expect a high level of work from them and they always reach and often exceed my expectations. Several creative students are designing their own patterns, many are able to translate existing patterns without my assistance and they are enjoying the process. This work helps strengthen their fine motor skills, their ability to work in steps and the skill of seeing how a pattern is constructed. I am not sure the work will be completed before Winter Break, but we will see how the next few classes progress.
