Zentangle


My Zentangle project was probably one of the longest projects we've done in art yet.  As usual I worked with my friend Julia in a very cooperative fashion.  We started off with the paper zentangle as shown in the very top picture.  After that we moved to the concrete outside and we painted Julia's shadow with the so called "mud".  This mud in reality is clay and I really wish we had painted with actual mud because it would have been more fun.  I still don't understand why we didn't use mud but I figure curiosity kills the cat.

Next we moved to the courtyard where me and Julia decided to continue with our shadow idea except this time we painted Julia's body.  We spent the first few days filling in the outline of Julia's body.  Then, after hearing we had to fill in the entire wall, we went into turbo drive and got almost our entire wall painted in one day.  Of course we had some help from a few friends along the way, but in the end the final product was worth the effort.  




If I ever do this project again then there would be nothing I would change, except for maybe the boiling heat that pounded us.  It was a fun project and I would be happy to do it again with no more zentangles.  Although I enjoyed the clay paint, I didn't really enjoy the zentangles.  To be honest the zentangles kind of bored me and I don't think I'll be jumping for joy if we do them again.
