Zentangle Pictures
A group of students shared that they express themselves through their drawings. We wondered if anyone else expressed themselves through their drawings.
We decided to speak to Ms. Grace Kang. She taught Grade 2 @nischina last year and now lives and works in Korea.
She enjoys expressing herself through her drawings and creates her own postcards and greeting cards! 
Ms. Grace explained that she likes drawing and ‘doodling’. She used different repeated patterns to create art. She uses squiggles, shapes, symbols and patterns to fill in shapes. Her feelings can inspire her creations.
We began with some waves, zigzags, swirls and heart shapes. The students drew their own pictures and filled in the spaces using repeated patterns.
One student pointed to the ‘Zones of Regulation’ posters displayed in the classroom and suggested that we look for ideas about feelings here.
