What is zentagle
art?
Zentangle
is an easy to learn method of creating beautiful images from repetitive patterns. It is a fascinating new
art
form that is relaxing while also increasing focus and creativity. Slide4
What is Zentangle
art?
“In 2005, the
Zentangle
concept was born when calligrapher Maria Thomas described to her partner the sense of focus, well-being and relaxation she felt while creating background patterns on a manuscript,” writes Hall. “A former Buddhist monk, her partner, Rick Roberts, recognized this state as one of meditation. Together they worked toward creating a system that would teach and encourage others to experience the same sensations.Slide5
How is zentagle
different from doodling?
DOODLING = PERSONAL
“Ordinary doodling serves two purposes,” Reinhart says. “The first is just to mindlessly pass time. This type of doodling is what students draw on the cover of their notebooks when they’re bored during a history lecture. The images and wording on the cover of that notebook appear random and disconnected. Doodling’s second purpose is to serve as a form of journaling, which is commonly found in scrapbook pages.”Slide6
How zentagle this different from doodling?
ZENTANGLE = PURPOSEFUL
“A
Zentangle’s
intertwining patterns have a definite flow and rhythm. You could draw a
Zentangle
on a notebook, but it wouldn’t look like an ordinary doodle. Although it’s not in the standard square format, it does connect and relate to the confines of the page, either flowing from the top to the bottom of a paper’s edge or unfurling from one corner. Slide7Slide8Slide9Slide10Slide11
