Zentangle Art Course by Samantha Lee - MP20221105ZAC

WHAT?

Zentangle Method is a series of simple practical steps designed to help us create beautiful art. It is all about simple strokes (dots, lines, curves, and orbs) and the repetition of drawing them over and over, focusing on just that. We will create art “one step at a time” without focusing on the outcome. It is an enjoyment where each stroke at a time helps shift our focus on every moment. You just need to know the steps which will result in a delightful surprise. In short, Zentangle art is non-representational and unplanned so you can focus on each stroke and not worry about the result.

The Zentangle Method is a combination of ‘relaxed-focus’ and art, that is perfect drawing style for anyone of any skill level. It promotes calmness and helps us to get out of our head, it also helps with fear of creating something that isn’t perfect.  We learn to manage stress, focus, think positively through gratitude and appreciation and become resilient through no mistake philosophy, the Zentangle Method.

Drawing in Zentangle Method has been shown to boost self-esteem, promote relaxation and mental clarity, and open the channels of creativity.  Using the create side of our brain gives our mind and body a chance to decompress and relax, even just a few minutes a day can have huge benefits.  Regular practice of creating art can be nurturing for relieving stress, creativity, design skills, increasing confidence and supporting general wellness.
