various kinds of papers, textiles, and yarns, and understand how to use them to
1.3 Learn and use appropriate vocabulary related to methods, materials, and techniques
2.5 For pattern and symmetry, explore the use of patterns and symmetrical shapes in 2D and 3D
works
Enduring Understandings:
● Big Ideas: The students will understand that…
o Interesting designs can be created through exploratory drawing or “doodling”
o Most intricate patterns and designs can be broken into 2-3 simple steps
o Applying both positive space in a zentangle can give it a darker value
o Patterns can lead to unique designs
● Concepts:
o Entangle Technique
o Involvement of positive and negative space
o Pattern
o Mixed Media
o Craftsmanship
Essential Questions:
How can positive and negative space cause a zentangle to feel “complete”.
What benefits come from using multiple medias in a work?
How can mathematical elements such as pattern benefit artwork?

Action/Instructional Procedures
Procedures:
● Anticipatory Set: (hook)
o Have students create a written response to “Do Now” on the board:
▪ “In what ways can math relate to artwork?”
o Let students share some responses
o Guide students to incorporating pattern in design.
ACCOMODATIONS -
ELL- ELL students will be provided with a visual list of lines and shapes that include a
translation to support their participation in class. ELL students should be checked in with
frequently to see if they may need other supports. Class steps and project criteria may also be
translated if necessary. Encourage ELL students to ask questions!
IEP/505- Students of low-functioning disability should be provided with a modified
exercise of practicing pattern. This could be offering a variety of pre-cut construction paper
shapes to arrange into patterns. A paper with a drawn pattern to place shapes on may be offered
for more structure and support.
● Step One:
o Hand out table folders for students to retrieve their zentangle outline.
o Pass out Sharpie markers.
o Students will work to fill in the entirety of their animal outline in this class period
using skills they have practiced from packets.
o Circulate the room while students work
▪ Offer advice & encouragement
▪ Show class student examples that meet criteria
● Step Two:
o Play zentangle video on board (with relaxation music) to inspire students while
they work.
▪ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJcscODMhzY&t=46s
o Circulate the room while students work
▪ Offer advice & encouragement
▪ Show class student examples that meet criteria
o EARLY FINISHERS - Written Journal
▪ “What did you notice about your mood while creating your zentangle?
Why do you think that is? Would you want to practice the art of zentangle
on your own time? Why or Why not?”
● Clean-Up:
o 5 minutes prior to bell (clean-up bell)
o Place work in folders to work on next class and make pile on center table
o Return sharpies to bin on central table
o Take exit ticket to seat to be completed.
CLASS 3 - Painting
Procedures:
● Anticipatory Set: Individual Experiment
o On each table, have printed worksheet of a circle shape, palette of pre-mixed
watercolor, brushes, and a small cup of salt.
o Have steps on board:
▪ On paper, guess what will happen if salt is added to watercolor paint.
▪ Paint in the circle on your sheet.
▪ Sprinkle one small pinch of salt over the paint.
▪ Explain what happened when the salt was added.
▪ Move side 1 of drying rack.
o Ask students about what they noticed
o Explain that the salt actually absorbs the water which manipulates the effect of the
watercolor paint.
● Step Two:
o Steps on the board:
▪ 1. Create a wash with water surrounding the zentangle silhouette
▪ 2. Float in either warm or cool colors (use at least 2)
▪ 3. Use 2-3 small pinches of salt to sprinkle into painted area.
o EARLY FINISHERS
▪ Independant Video on Chromebooks
● https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-KYHJriivw
● Clean-Up: On Board
o Work should be moved to side 2 of drying rack
o Paint and salt belongs on back counter
o Brushes should be rinsed and returned to container with other materials on
counter.
o Wipe up any spills!
o Take exit ticket from front table.
STEAM -
Math - Students will make connections between mathematics and artistic design through learning
about pattern.
Technology - the computer aid of a zentangle creation video will be used for class inspiration
and understanding.
Science - Students will learn about the chemical reaction of salt absorbing water and apply it
through painting.
