Hello School Year 2015-16! We have started out the year by creating our fresh new portfolios, and are making Zentangle sea creatures with our names to decorate them!

Zentangling is a calming and creative way of using line and different line weights in patterns to draw.

You can find out more about it here

or here

And find all kinds of patterns to practice here

Stay tuned, so far we are having an amazing year!

Love, 

the artists at FMS
