What is Zentangle®?
The Zentangle method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Almost anyone can use it to create beautiful images. It increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal well-being. The Zentangle Method is enjoyed all over the world, across a wide range of skills, interests, and ages. We believe that life is an art form and that our Zentangle Method is an elegant metaphor for deliberate artistry in life.
This class will provide you with a background in the history of Zentangle, introduce you to the basic steps of the method, and expose you to the associated vocabulary and tools used. You will create actual Zentangle tiles using 5 elemental strokes, the repetitive nature of the process bringing you to a state of relaxed focus that some call meditation. The Zentangle Method, developed by Maria Thomas and Rick Roberts, will fuel your creativity as you discover that “Anything is possible – one stroke at a time.”
Principles of the Method:
