Zentangle was developed 20 years ago as a form of sketching that incorporates meditation into your drawing. It’s easy to learn, relaxing, and a fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns, known as tangles. You create tangles with combinations of dots, lines, simple curves, S-curves and orbs. These patterns are drawn on small pieces of paper called "tiles." As you complete multiple tiles, you can assemble them into mosaics.

Have fun creating your own garden scenes of flowers, insects and whatever your imagination wants to bring to your garden. Use oil pastels to draw your garden scene and use one watercolor color to complete Part 1 of a diptych (pronounced dip-tic) and another color to complete Part 2 of the diptych.. A diptych is artwork that consists of two separate pieces that together create a single art piece. Did I say only one color at a time? Yes, only one, but there are so many versions of one color that you will learn to make. Your diptych creations will be exhibited with the creations of your fellow workshop friends in a beautiful rainbow presentation. You will, of course, be able to take your own diptych home.

In this course students will have fun making paper sculptures. We will begin by talking about sculpture as a three dimensional art form, and what makes it different from two dimensional art, such as drawing and painting. Students will be making sculptures using colorful construction paper, which they will be adhering to a sturdy cardboard base. We will explore different methods of cutting paper, curling it, and folding it to make exciting 3D shapes and characters. Students will be able to glue these forms to their cardboard base to make their own interesting worlds. We will even incorporate some cut out magazine pictures. So signup and have fun making your own personal paper sculpture worlds!
