SDSU Detangle with Zentangle

3/22/21, I was asked to teach a Zentangle class for SDSU Allies for Education.

                        SDSU -  AFE's March Mindful Monday Zentangle Event tonight
                   Topic - Zentangle to Detangle

Basic/Introduction to the Zentangle Method was the topic for class today. Sharing the history, philosophy, applications, and steps to create an original Zentangle tile. Zentangle was design for
those intimidated by art.  No rulers, no erasers, no mistakes. This method is different than any
other art media.

                                     When will you Zentangle journey start? 

On the Road Again with Zentangle - VW Bus 3/20/21

 Zooooooooooooooooooooooooom to a dream of traveling soon.  This Zentangle class was inspired as the COVID vaccine might let us see the light at the end of the tunnel.  

Our Zentangle string today looked a lot like a VW bus.  Using the Zentangle Method, we created a ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art).  Whether you leave black and white, or add a bit of color to our sunset van, the tangles speak for themselves.  Zentangle is interesting and pop any art media piece.

                                     

                          

Zentangle and San Dieguito Synchronized Swimming (3/18/21)

                                          San Dieguito Synchro!

San Diego's Premiere Synchronized Swim Club

Funny thing, I've always loved watching synchro swimming on TV, YouTube and of course, the Olympics.  When Danielle, the head coach and Director of San Dieguito Synchronized Swim Club, emailed me and asked if I would teach a Zentangle class to her swim team I quickly emailed back with of YES. 

Danielle shared that all the Zoom meetings the kids had been in, they could use a relaxing class to de-stress.  She came to the right place.  Zentangle is a meditative art method.  Even in Zoom mode, the process of drawing helps the artist relax, focus and get into a state of well-being -  happy place.  Best part:  no rulers, no erasers, no mistakes.  

I designed a Zendala class with the swimmers in mind.  The girls were sitting outside on basketball court, and using their phones, did a Zoom Zentangle class.  That was a first for me - outside, Zoom. 

It went over well, and we finished before dark - thank goodness.

 

'I am hoping to visit the team for a event in the future.  

Introduction to the Zentangle Method

 Today's class, 3/13/21,  was a private Zoom gathering of friends learning to tangle. I love sharing this art method.  Zentangle has been around since 2009 but still so many folks have not heard of this secret gem.  

Zentangle was designed by Rick Robert and Maria Thomas.  They created Zentangle for those that were intimidated by art.  A big surprise to them, that it also turned out to be a meditative experience.  

If you haven't sat in on a basic or introduction class with a certified Zentangle teacher, you are missing the boat.  A certified Zentangle Teacher has been trained to teach the method the way it was designed by the co-founders.  You will learn the history, philosophy, applications and steps of creating an original Zentangle tile.  You don't get "it", till you do "it".

Check my calendar on my blog front page to see a class for you.

Spring is coming - Zentangle Birdhouses are here

, 

March 6th, we Zoomed into Zentangle birdhouses. With a year of COVID under our belts this month and folks starting to get vaccinated, Spring is breaking through with light at the end of the tunnel from social distancing. Birds need a place to do their thing and create babies.  Using the Zentangle Method, we tangled a ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art).  The "string" looked a lot like birdhouses -  wink wink. No matter what the string - tangles can be applied anywhere.  Look at these cookies I found at Trader Joe's serval years ago.  I was so surprised to see the pattern Bales on the cookie.

Are the birdhouses adorable?  Fun class and great company during Zoom.

Come and Zoom and relax with Janet Masey - Certified Zentangle Teacher.
