To keep myself looking semi intelligent during
long and boring meetings, I have spent many an hour drawing shapes that connect
and making different patterns inside each one. Imagine my surprise to learn
that this activity is called “Zentangle.” While there are now art exhibits,
books, websites, special instructors, how to guides and more on the topic, the
idea is pretty simple, draw a shape and fill it in with whatever appeals to
you. Keep adding on until you are pleased with your drawing-or in my case, the
meeting is over. If you need a better definition, check “What is a Zentangle?”
While you can use pen or pencil, my preference
is for a fine point Sharpie.
To help start, check out the following:
• Zentangle with Your Students: Nice overview
• Zendoodle Sampler Zentangle PatternStyles Tutorial: Good video on different patterns you can use.
• Tangle Patterns: An index and graphic
guide to Zentangle patterns on the web and how to draw them.
