Op Art Space

After discussing the concept of zentangles  and looking at examples, the class was left to create eye-catching freeform optical designs inspired by the theme 'space'. We used bright pink backgrounds for extra psychedelic effect! 

Materials:

Pink cardboard
Lead Pencils
Textas
Poscas

I laid out a few objects to trace - masking tape (tracing inner or outer circles for planets), rulers, and foam star shapes. 

Summer Self Portraits

This art class was inspired by art teacher Kathy Barbro. Based on the idea of doodling in schoolbooks (we've all done it!), these drawings are meant to reflect upon the times had over the summer holidays. 

Below are works created by the students of Blaxland art class today:
