ZENTANGLE BASICS FOR TEENS with Suzanne O'Malley

Zentangles are miniature pieces of unplanned, abstract art, created through a very specific method, to form structured patterns. The Zentangle Method is an easy to learn, relaxing & fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns called “tangles.”  This workshop will provide step-by-step instructions on how to create tangles and apply them to a drawing. In the first class students will learn the basics creating a tangle in black ink on white paper. During the second class students will experiment creating a Zentanngle design in white ink on black paper. For the final class students will apply everything they've learned throughout the workshop applying the Zentangles to a subject like an animal or landscape.
