No matter how much one experiences life, how many degrees one has, or how many Van Gogh’s one has seen, a fourth grader just might teach you something new about a subject...in this case art.
Brea Lyle has learned a little something about the zentangle method of art.
Here, she poses with her art teacher Kristie Steiner with her zentangle piece made from a marker and copy of a photograph of her.
Zentangle is described as relaxing, fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. She learned that from her elementary art teacher, Miss Steiner, now in her fourth year of teaching at Ada Schools.
