Tangle Art and Drawing Games for Kids is perfect for families who want to sneak a little more creativity into their lives and have fun doing it. It’s about exploring, experimenting, and getting lost in creativity. It’s not focused on goals, but on enjoying the process.
Professional artist Jeanette Nyberg brings to life 46 drawing games that offer playful, easy ways to get a pen moving across a page, help keep the mind focused, and provide hours of edifying entertainment. Move through the book at your own pace. Start with basic drawing games, followed by a section of activities that can be done with friends, then work with some mixed-media activities, and end with awesome tangle art games. Each activity includes ideas for how to “Make it Silly,” and ways to vary the themes so you can play the games over and over.
Families will make exciting discoveries, find creative ways to spend their time, master visual and manual skills, and most importantly, have fun!
Kaleidoscope Circles is the 30th game out of 46 that range from very simple ones, to games you can work along with a friend, to mixed-media and full-on tangle games. I’m going to try it because I never became really good at drawing! This is an easy way to make a really fun, colorful, graphic-design drawing that’s all your own, no matter what your skill level.
This game produces a work of art that looks a bit like the view through a colorful kaleidoscope. Of course, your drawing will be much cooler than a dumb old kaleidoscope.
1. Using a can or other round object and a pencil, trace several circles all over the page. Feel free to use a couple objects of different sizes.
2. Color in all the areas where the circles overlap.
For even more fun, draw tangle designs in the leftover white areas!
