QR Code for Zentangle Patterns

 
Students were introduced to the art of Zentangles.  A Zentangle is an art form by using Line to create Patterns.  It's purpose is to reduce stress while focusing on creativity.  Below is a group picture from each 6th grade class.  Ask your child to identify theirs.



 
 Students began our major art project and were told if they have an electronic device, they may download a free QR Code app and scan the code.  This will take you to numerous amounts of patterns that students may apply to their art.
