Zentangle from San Diego California to Denver Colorado

 How did I "tangle" from San Diego with some 30 students in Denver today? 
Thanks to virtual learning with ZOOM, I was able to share the Zentangle Method from a distance.  

Natalie Kuypers, the senior/children events specialist, from the Arapahoe library in the Denver area contacted me and asked if I could teach a virtual class for the children (5-12 years) Grab and Go: art day class they have each month at their library. Having taught many children Zentangle classes in San Diego - I know kids LOVE Zentangle. So many folks/kids have not heard of this secret gem art method. YES, YES, YES.  How could I say no.

February 7th, 4:00/5:00, Pacific/Mountain time, Ashley and Emily's hosted the class from library.  Together the kids and I created a fun ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art) robot bookmark using the Zentangle Method.  Our "string" took on the shape of a robot.



I supplied the library with template for project/list of materials to add to package for kids to pick up before class. The library included tassle for bookmark, hole punch, and laminate to cover bookmark.  

The kids were taught seven patterns "tangles" - Printemps, Knightsbridge, Ambler, Knase, Fescue, Meer, Tipple.

Thank you to the Arapahoe Library for seeking a new fun art method for your Grab and Go:  art day.
