Abstract
Experience an easy to learn, relaxing and intuitive drawing method using structured patterns, pen, paper and pencil. Create beautiful abstract images as one stays in the present moment, expanding focus, flow, creativity and opportunity.
Zentangle® is a hands-on drawing technique that is a quieting ceremony as much as it is a mark-making experience and mindfulness tool. Explore the potential of pattern and line, positive and negative space. This is a tool for non-artists and artists alike, due to its simplicity, which incorporates both the stroke of the pen and a state of relaxation. There are no mistakes, only opportunities to expand your creative potential and possibility.
After a quick visual presentation we will begin with an introductory exercise of centering down, learning the basic drawing method, ceremony and group mosaic, we will expand our drawing to walking a simple paper labyrinth with our pens and pattern, paying attention to the feel and stroke of the pen. Zentangle® as a practice offers opportunity for metaphor and openness that is a complimentary experience to walking the labyrinth and connecting to your inner knowings. It can be experience alone and or as a group, much like the labyrinth.
If time allows, we will follow up with a short Q&A. Digital resources will be provided on a small handout.
