Zen and Zentangle 

Welcome to the world of Zentangle & get ready to embark on a beautiful creative journey!

Zentangling is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful art by drawing structured patterns called tangles, unlike freeform doodling.Tangles are combinations of dots, lines, curves, orbs and practically any motif you want to add, all of which are the basic elements of Zentangle art. It is very much like “yoga for the brain” designed to be relaxing and meditative and is accessible to people even with no prior training in art.

What's even more appealing is that it is spontaneous and unplanned, where you focus on each stroke and do not worry about the end result - more like art on the go.

As you use the Zentangle Method to create beautiful images, you likely will enjoy increased focus, creativity, self-confidence and an increased sense of well being. It will also help reduce academic stress, enhance focus and concentration, teach mindfulness, build self esteem and confidence.

Zentangle is a no fuss form of abstract, unplanned and non-representational art.  Zentangling is an excellent activity for nurturing creativity because it combines structure with freedom in a unique way. It Stimulates visual imagination: By combining abstract shapes and patterns, it helps develop spatial awareness, pattern recognition, and visual problem-solving — essential skills for creative expression.
