There are no more Zentangle Level 1 classes scheduled for the spring of 2025. If you are interested in attending a Zentangle Art Level class, please c1omplete the Zentangle Interest Form. If we have enough interest, we'll contact those on the Interest List to arrange a date & time that works for as many as possible.
Zentangle-inspired Art is the practice of mindfully drawing images from repetitive and structured patterns. It becomes a form of artistic meditation as one becomes completely engrossed in making each pattern, deliberately focusing on one stroke at a time. The “tangles” are stylized or abstract, non-representative images created by drawing a series of dots, lines, simple curves and circles. The creativity options and pattern combinations are boundless. There are no mistakes, only opportunities in Meditative Zentangle-inspired Art!
This art form:
- Increases focus and creativity;
- Provides artistic satisfaction;
- Increases a sense of personal well-being;
- Teaches you to slow down and pay attention to details; and
- Is easy to learn, fun, and relaxing!
In this introductory class, Sylvie will teach several basic tangles and provide time for participants to practice contemplative Zentangle.
