For this Step It Up activity, I created a type of art called Zentangle art. Zentangle art is many doodles combined and is excellent for calming. The word Zen means calm, and the word tangle means basically doodling. I felt calm, as it was meant to be while doodling. The task said try a shell, waves, a fish or another type of sea creature. I chose the Scallop shell and did one for fun, and got carry away doodling. These are my 2 pieces of artwork.
Would you rather doodle or do another type of art and how do you feel when making art?
Kia ora Isa,
This is Zana from the SLJ again. Great to see another post from you!!
I had never even heard of zentangles prior to this activity and I am so glad that I know them now. What a fun and relaxing style of art, it reminds me of some beautiful pages you may see in a colouring book or on a tukutuku board. Have you heard of them before this task?
I think you did an amazing job, I like that you decided to do two different designs. They both look great especially considering you hadn’t done it before. I think it would look even better coloured in. If you were to colour it in, what colours would you use?
Keep up the great work!

Kia Ora Zana,
I have not heard of zentangle art before, but I have made this type of doodling without noticing its name.
I would use whatever colours in my pencil case to colour it.
What colour would you suggest for me to use if I was to colour it?
From Isa
Maybe some ocean themed colours!!
