1. Students will reach into their book bags pick out their favorite school supply. Students can also pick an item at random.

2. With a pencil draw the item onto a sheet of drawing paper very large. It doesn't have to be fully detailed.

3. Now outline your drawing with the sharpies. Then proceed to draw patterns (tangles) on your drawing. Don't worry about making a mistake, just draw what comes to mind. Once down erase your pencil lines.

4. Color your zentangle drawing with crayons.
