Zentangles
Zentangles are small pieces of unplanned, abstract, black & white art created as a means of artistic meditation. A Zentangle can be viewed from any orientation and are non-representational, so you certainly don’t need to be good at art – anyone can create a Zentangle! They can be completed in less than 15 minutes and done anywhere you choose.
Year 1 & 2 Sketchbook Art Skills
This sheet is designed for children in years 1 & 2 and can be stuck to the inside of each child’s sketch book. The activities are used to complement the skills you are already teaching as part of your art & design curriculum yet also great for those children who may finish their work quickly. As many of the activities require resources, we recommend you do one activity at a time rather than giving the children free-choice! Introduce and model the activity initially and make sure the children tick or date the box when it is completed.
