Zentangle Scratchboard

I first started with doodling what I wanted in my sketchbook. I then cut out a 6x6 inch square and then drew different shapes with pastels. I then mixed up my paint and dish soap together and painted it onto my square. It had to dry for over a day. I then used a fork and a dull pencil to sketch by lines into my scratch-board. I incorporated zentangle into my scratchboard by drawing in smooth flowing lines. It relaxed me by doing it this way and that's what zentangle is. I loved how the colors popped in my finished product and I love how it turned out. It was one of my favorite projects I did this semester. It was really messy though so I don't think I would do this project with anyone 3rd grade or younger.
