Post Your Zentangle - Due Today

Post both your practice sheet and the Final Zentagle art. Due today.

Practice Drawing Zentangles

Today we will practice making Zentangles. A Zentagle is a structured pattern consisting of dots, lines, simple curves and orbs. 

It is NOT a random scribble or doodle.

We will practice making at least 9 zentangles today. We will draw a grid of 9 squares and draw in pencil. Later we will choose 6 and make a zentangle cube using various sharpie markers.

The best way to learn how to do zantangling is to do a google search. There are hundreds of videos showing you how to create thousands of designs

At first do not try to make your own. After you get the hang of it you can customize some of the patterns, but for now just find ones that you like and copy them.

Glaze Your Masks

Today, first take a picture of you mask before you glaze it and post it to your blog. 

Title it - Mask Bisque.

Then glaze it and put it on the shelf.
Don't forget to wax the bottom if you are going to use dip glaze.

Mask Design

Before we start to actually use clay, we need to draw sketches of our mask ideas. 

First, here are a few videos of the mask making process

Picasso Cubist Style Self Portrait

Picasso

Pablo Picasso was one of the most well known and influential artists of the 20th century. He was a painter, sculptor, print-maker, and ceramicist.

Take a look at Picasso in action. He was constantly making art, and worked in many different styles:

Picasso at Work Video

Picasso developed a style known as Cubism. Cubism is an abstract art form that was influenced by Egyptian, African and Native American art. Cubist art is very flat and angular, and shows multiple views of an object, such as the front and side, in the same composition.

Cubism

Picasso started as a traditional painter, but his style changed over the years.
