Intro to 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. If a person can write the
alphabet, they are capable of creating art with this method. The Zentangle Method increases focus and
creativity, provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal well-being.
This class will provide a beginner with a background in the history of Zentangle, introduce them to the
basics steps of the method and expose them to associated vocabulary and tools used. Students will
create a framework for drawing with up to 6 patterns and create depth through shading. Students will
learn basic strokes (icso) and understand the difference between doodling and meditative pattern
drawing. Students will be immersed in creating actual Zentangle tiles and will leave with a clear
understanding that, “Anything is possible one stroke at a time.” ®
