Beyond Basic Zentangle at Poway Library

Several familiar faces returned from last weeks (Introduction to Zentangle class), at Poway Library to this weeks Beyond Basic Zentangle class and I was very pleased to see many new faces.  Great crowd to share the amazing  ZENTANGLE. Art Method with.

First, we learned more complex patterns "tangles".  I call Introduction to Zentangle - "kindergarten", and Beyond Basic Zentangle is like jumping into the" sixth grade" (way more information about Zentangle and lots of tangleations (variations of tangles), tangos (two patterns put together), string theory, shading and so much more to make your tiles POP.
 

 

The adorable little boy in the center (below) did a fantastic job.  He liked it so much last week, him and his Mom came back.  Adorable. little guy.  I'm sorry I couldn't fit his entire art piece (the one on the left to the tiles) in the picture.  He did such a good job. 

 

THANKS POWAY LIBRARY, the room was fantastic.

 

Janet's Zentangle Zoo at San Diego Zoo

Tangling today at the SD Zoo before "Janet's Zentangle Zoo" first class of 125 3-5th graders..   Ahhhhhh feel the Zen?

                                         

 

 

Today we tangled a giraffe head for both classes.  Some of these 1,2,3rd graders did amazing work.   I'll try to get a couple kids pics next class!!!   One little 6 year old told me he was a professional artist because he sold his art (my husband thought maybe his uncle bought it) - but you never know. I guess I should have gotten his autograph.

 

                                            

Not having taught 125 kids, twice in one day, I'm still impressed that Zentangle keeps all those kids engaged for 40 minutes.  After class one little boy will ask if he can take my art work home.  Kids are adorable and fun to teach.  What I learned today, don't ask 125 kids a questions.  They all answer at once.  Lesson learned...

Doggie Tangle

Who doesn't love a cute little puppy delivering flowers?  Don't miss the next animal tangle class.  What animal calls out to you to tangle?   

Poway Library Introduction to Zentangle

If you haven't had a chance to visit the Poway Library in San Diego, then you need to head
out the next chance you get and take a look.  This library is located in beautiful Poway. 
With such a large facility, they have lots of different opportunities to offer at this location. 

  Zentangle is EASY and like nothing you have seen before. 
The co-founders of Zentangle, Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas, took the HARD out of art.
Through drawing circles and lines, you can create beautiful images

that look intricate and complicated, yet easy enough for kids to seniors to do.

 

Create your own coloring book pages by learning Zentangle Art Method.

 

The class today at the library was just like all the other classes I teach -
you don't get "it" till you do "it".  Then the addiction starts.
A warning comes with every class I teach - WARNING, ZENTANGLE CAN BE ADDICTIVE.

After class I have the students put their "tiles" together to admire all the different art work they completed.  This is always an eye opener.  All the tiles look the same, but yet different because of interpretation of my instruction.

This was their response when I asked "did you enjoy learning the Zentangle Art Method"?

Zany Zentangle Zoo

Today my class at the San Diego Zoo was with 6th, 7th and 8th graders.  I introduced Zentangle Art Method and our project was to creating a coloring book page by adding "tangles" (Zentangle terminology for patterns).  Doesn't the 'after' peacock look much more interesting than the 'before' version?  I always tell the kids, if you can draw a circle and a straight line... you can tangle.

 I didn't get all 40 students art pieces in pic, but didn't they do a fantastic job? 

 
Gee whiz FYI:   Did you know that lots of animals at the Zoo have a companion?  The two are raised from babies and spend their lives together.  Next time you go to the San Diego Zoo, see if you can find the animals with companions.

Zentangle Pop Art Sunday

Sunday we had a popping good time with Zentangle Pop Art class today at Beverly's Fabric in San Diego, California.  This is the perfect example of creating your own coloring pages with Zentangle Art Method.  Many of the Certified Zentangle Teachers (CZT),  have written the "Adult Coloring Books".  When you learn the Zentangle Merhod you can create amazing coloring book pages and add color. 

 

                      

             We learned some new tangles, and coloring techniques and had a popping good time.
