Class Description: Zentangles are abstract, often black & white drawings, created by using step-by-step instructions for each pattern. The students will be introduced to multiple Zentangle patterns that will be combined to design and create their own drawing. These patterns are called “tangles”. Using a pen, you will create tangles with various lines, curves, dots, circles and more. These simple shapes are the strokes in all Zentangle art. With the provided pens, pencil, special paper, etc., you will be given instructions on how to get started doing a Zentangle. The Zentangle method is easy to learn, relaxing, fun, calming, meditative and more. It is a fun way to create beautiful art by drawing structured patterns. There are thousands of Zentangle patterns to try and enjoy. Designing your own piece of art is like working on a puzzle that you are trying to solve. Working with Zentangle patterns creates a “zen” type of feeling because one concentrates on moving around the paper to use various patterns to fill the space on the paper. Small tiles are especially fun because it is easier to fill all of the blank spaces on the tile.
