A few weeks back one of our Science teachers, Lucy Spalding, hosted an Interhigh Common Room session looking at the art of Zentangle - a yoga for the brain.
During this very well received Common Room Lucy explained that Zentangle is an easy to learn, relaxing and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Not only is it fun and relaxing but it has been shown to be a useful tool in stress control and anxiety management. Research in neuroscience shows that doodling can help people stay focused, grasp new concepts and retain information. Lucy took us through a series of steps and examples. With no right or wrong, no orientation and abstract forms we began to see how beautiful patterns could be created.
All the students enjoyed it enjoyed it and the Interhigh Art Club took on the challenge of learning a new skill based on Zentangle. After a lot of hard work the Art Club have produced a "Zentangled InterHigh".
This is the first ever piece of work that the Art Club have produced collectively. We think you will agree that this is a beautiful pattern and has been adopted as one of the school logins. Congratulations to the Students of InterHigh Art Club.
