media type="custom" key="18675422" In Room 7 our art focus for this term is dragons. We have been looking at different parts of dragons and we also learnt about zentangle. Zentangle is just random creations that look really good in black. Since the whole of Room 7 loved working with zentangle we decided we would experiment by mixing dragons and zentangle together. Our first step was to divide a peice of newsprint into four parts. Some people in Room 7 brought some books with cool drawings of dragons. We sketched one of the pictures Mrs Milne photocopyed for us. The week after that we looked over all the dragons we had drawn. Then we had to get another peice of paper and start enlarging our dragon. It was very challenging because you never knew how big you could make the wing or how llong the tail could be. After that we couls start our real copy. That was an even more challenging because we weren't allowed to rubb out any lines. When we had finished the pencil sketch we had to do the outline in Indian Ink. Then we had to practice our zentangle designs. It was hard to think up different designs. That took quite a while. Then we have to do the zentangle on our real copy which took ages. Now I am up to Indian inking the zentangle. My designs are very petite so it's hard.
