Zentangle is a fun, easy-to-learn, mindful drawing practice. In the guided drawing classes, students learn to create structured patterns with simple lines and curves. Coupled with meditative principles, students learn to enhance their creativity, confidence and peace. No art background needed.
Supplies needed: Paper, fine tip black pen, sharp pencil, rolled paper smudger or Q-tip.
- The Basics - Explore the steps of the Zentangle method and create artworks using structured patterns, “tangles.” Discover how simple strokes become three-dimensional magic in no time.
- Exploring contrast: Explore pattern types, organic grid border tangles and discover how juxtaposing contrasts make the art pop!
- String Thing: Discover the comfort in divided small sections of the “string.“ Working in small areas, find an endless variety of opportunities inside and outside the lines.
- Shading technique: Explore how simple strokes of the pencil and rolled paper smudger create surprising dimension, depth and emphasis, where 2-D will become 3-D in just a few strokes.
