The  Art  of  Zentangle  The  Zentangle  Method  is  a  crea4ve  way  to  create  images  by  drawing  structured  pa<erns.  It  was  developed  by  Maria  Thomas  and  Rick  Roberts  of  Zentangle,  Inc.    The  Zentangle  Method  is  enjoyed  all  over  the  world  across  a  wide  range  of  skills,  interests  and  ages.

How  to  create  Zentangles  Let's  begin  by  discussing  the  method  used  by  the  creators  of  Zentangle  and  then  modify  this  method  with  our  own  ar4s4c  expression.  The  creators  method  starts  with  a  "string"  or  line  that  defines  an  area.  This  area  is  then  filled  with  repe44ve  pa<erns  called  "tangles".    The  ar4st  chooses  those  pa<erns  from  an  exis4ng  list,  found  in  books  or  on  the  creators  website.

For  this  lesson  we  will  be  crea0ng  Zentangle  inspired  art.      Prac%ce-­‐Project  Direc%ons:    •  Study  the  various  visual  texture  pa<erns  provided  by  the  teacher  •  Using  pencil  prac4ce  the  design  techniques  used  in  Zentangle  on  newsprint  1.  Draw  lines  crea4ng  loops  and  closed  off  sec4ons  

2.  Fill  the  space  of  your  paper  3.  In  each  separate  area  draw  various  examples  of  invented  and  simulated  textures  to  create  PATTERNS

 Zentangle  Final  Project  •  Create  a  unique  design  using  black  ink  (Sharpie)  on  drawing  paper.  

•  You  can  create  an  animal,  landscape,  portrait,  etc  

•  Draw  “strings”  or  lines  throughout  your  design  to  create  interest  and  to  break  up  pa<erns  

•  Choose  a  minimum  of  12  pa<erns  and  fill  in  the  sec4ons  created  by  the  lines  

•  Turn  in  your  Final  Project  along  with  your  Prac4ce  Project  for  a  grade.
