BASIS Flagstaff and wonderful 5th Graders

Combine kindness with kids and what do you get... magic!

Art teacher, Jessalyn Carpino, at BASIS Flagstaff introduced Zentangle to her 5th graders as well as the Tangled Kindness Project.  She challenged her students to link kindness with creativity which lead perfectly into students making Tangled Little Cards.  We are talking nearly 100 students -- that is a lot of Tangle Little Cards entering the world and it makes the Tangled Kindness Project's heart sing!

Here are a few pictures of students working on their Tangled Little Cards... never have you heard an art classroom so quite.  Every student was diligently working on tangles, quotes, and making each card absolutely perfect.  

Little hands making little cards...




Students used some of our favorite tangles!!!  In addition, they had a little inspiration from TanglePatterns.


 

Students were also encouraged to create their own, unique tangles!





Students were thoroughly engaged in the project and proudly admired their work.



Where do you think these Tangled Little Cards will be placed?  They will surely make someone smile!


Ms. Carpino, you are simply amazing!  Thank you for sharing the Tangled Kindness Project with your students.  And thank you, students, for contributing such beautiful cards to the project!
