Learn the art of Zentangle at the Yorkville Public Library
Tuesday, August 18 from 6:30 - 8:30 pm with Certified Zentangle Teacher, Starla Snead
The art of Zentangle is an easy-to-learn, stress reducing, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Almost anyone can use it to create beautiful images. It increase 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.
A Zentangle is a miniature abstract work of art. It is created from a collection of patterns not meant to represent anything. It is created on a 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 inch piece of art paper called a “tile”. This size allows for a work of art that can be completed in a relatively short time. The process is a meditative art form, using a pen and pencil. A Zentangle tile is meant to be a surprise that unfolds before the creator’s eyes, one stroke at a time. Zentangle is one of the few art forms that you intentionally do not plan out.
