Zentangle Agamographs

Have you heard of an Agamograph? Chances are you have seen one but didn't know what it was called! :) LOL This awesome art work has two pictures that have been spliced together so that as a person walks by the see one picture and then it morphs into a new picture due to the accordion folds of the paper. Way cool!

So for memorial day we decided to make one from this awesome seller on teacherspayteachers.com
Memorial Day Agamographs

So then I was inspired to create my own template and have the students create some art-inspired ones. I gave them 4 blank sheets that were divided into strips by black lines. On the first 2 they had to draw and color two completely different pictures. Some chose objects like trucks and mountains while others went into geometric designs etc... Once both pictures were drawn and colored, they would cut off the first strip of picture one and glue it to the first strip of the third blank sheet. Then they would cut the first strip of picture two and glue it onto the next strip and so on until 2 full sheets have been filled with spliced strips.

We used the directions learned from the Memorial Day Agamograph to create our zentangle/art version. They turned out really good!
