Neurographic Art- Patterns and Zentangle

Neurographic Art

Intuitive line drawing + mindful reflection. Students express stress, anxiety, or emotion through movement and pattern. It can be used as a weekly journal or a quiet warm-up. Make it more complicated by having them add patterns, or zentangle patterns.
