Musings of a bored girl

A Zentangle is an abstract drawing created by using repetitive patterns. This method was invented by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas.The invention of Zentangle was intended to make the art of drawing pleasurable, meditative and accessible to all. It's creation is unplanned. When you begin creating a Zentangle, we don't necessarily have a end goal in mind, the pattern reveals itself as we draw. Zentangles are not like doodle. Doodles are mostly done when someone is bored and wants to distract themselves. Unlike doodling, Zentangles needs focus and undivided attention.  This is a relatively new art form and it is based on human behaviour in which one refrains from planning and allows lines and shapes to unintentionally emerge. I tried my hand on making some Zentangles of my own. Here are some. Hope you like them and share your inputs. 

'Tis the season to be jolly.....deck the halls with bough of holly.... Hey everyone! Holidays season is here and I have been busy creating  easy DIY holiday decorations with my children. Since I teach grade 1,I had to think of simple and easy to make  decorations that 6 year old can make. Most of the things we used was either recycled or readily available. Here's a peak into what my class made for Christmas this year. Hope you guys can use some of the ideas.  Have a fabulous Christmas ! My class made this Christmas board where the jotted their wishes to Santa Claus.  Christmas tree made out of hand cuts.  Children traced their own hand prints and cut it out using safety scissors. They then decorated it with their own imagination using glitter, sequins, stickers, cotton, hand prints etc. We later attached it together and gave it the shape of a Christmas tree. It is quite easy to do and fun. It can be an interesting project for children to work upo
