Zentangle Yin Yang

Mandala Design

Students will create a 3-d illusion zentangle design on 12 x12 white

paper, using the yin yang symbol as the main image of the
design. Students will create the main image of the yin yang with a 1"
border lightly in pencil. Once this is done, students will then fill in the
opposing sides of the yin yang with a contrast of black and white
sharpie vs. watercolor. Students will learn how the origins of the
zentangle patterns came from the desire to create designs that were
soothing and calming, following the concept of Zen, and the artists
involved with the production of the step by step books were looking to
give simple directions on how to achieve a sense of peace and calm
with the designs.
