My Name Fish

At the beginning of the "school" year (get it, ha ha 😉) it is best to do projects that connect the kids faces to their names. 

I like the idea of these fish shapes being the border of the names. The spaces in between are where you fill in with design, doodles or zentangles. 

Start out with just light pencil to plan out placement and draw in name. Finalize lines with a sharpie. Then add doodles in between letters. 

For zentangle ideas, YouTube has videos you can run through during class to continually inspire students. 

Where I got inspired;
