Hand Zentangle Drawings

I introduced students in my 7th grade class to the concept of zentangle drawing. Students traced their arm and part of their hand on paper, then they outlined the lines with permanent marker and filled the hand in with zentangle drawings. We used permanent marker to help emphasize the idea that their lines should be bold and deliberate. The last step of this project was adding color with watercolor paint. I thought that this would be a fun project to start the year with!
