Lunar New Year Zentangles
These fantastic Lunar New Year Zentangles are a great way for your students to celebrate. The activity focuses on the visual art element of Line and encourages students to be creative by drawing various line patterns. The resource includes a page of line design ideas to inspire your students' creativity. The resource includes: instructions, design tips, a completed art sample, a line-pattern reference sheet and four Lunar New Year lantern templates.
Differentiation
Modifications
Provide a smaller selection of line patterns to copy, enlarge the template, pre-draw extra sections, model one pattern at a time, allow pencil-only designs, reduce the number of sections students complete, provide thicker drawing tools, or pair students with a completed sample and the Line Pattern Idea Sheet for visual support.
Extensions
Students can invent additional line patterns, divide the templates into extra sections, create a limited Lunar New Year colour palette, design an original Lunar New Year Zentangle design, explore symmetry or repeated motifs, or explain which patterns and colour choices create the strongest visual effect.
