About this Event
Zentangle Workshop @ Lilienthal Gallery
Saturday, May 16, from 10 AM - 12 PM
$40 (includes a kit with all necessary materials)
The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. We call these patterns, tangles and you create tangles with combinations of dots, lines, simple curves, S-curves, and orbs. These simple shapes are the "Elemental Strokes" in all Zentangle art.
Zentangle art is non-representational and unplanned so you can focus on each stroke and not worry about the result. There is no up or down to Zentangle art. In fact, you can most easily create Zentangle art by rotating your tile as you tangle -- always keeping your hand in a relaxed position. You don't need to know what a tangle is going to look like to draw it. You just need to know the steps.
The Zentangle Method works because
- It is fun
- It is simple to learn
- Each stroke is easy to draw
- There are no mistakes
- There are no preplanned outcomes, yet
- You always know what to do next
- The result is unexpected and beautiful . . .
. . . and all this occurs with gratitude and appreciation.
We believe that life is an art form and that each person is an artist. The Zentangle Method is an elegant metaphor and model for inspiring a deliberate artistry in life.
