What is Zentangle?
Breaking down the word starts to give an idea ….
Zen – Buddhist meditative philosophy for balancing the mind
Tangle – describes the act of creating a piece of art
Other explanations include
Doodling with some structure
Drawing for people who think they can’t draw
You’ll probably make up your own after a few weeks…….
The goal of this art practice is to achieve calm. It was developed as a style of drawing, mainly abstract, that uses repetitive patterns and represents an artistic method of relaxation for many.
