Workshop
Untangle with Zentangle
Summer 2020
A group of students spent a fun and soothing Saturday afternoon with Mr. Henri Chan, Certificated Zentangle Teacher & Co-founder of Visible Invisible to learn drawing structured pattern with combination of dots, lines, simple curves and orbs.
Zentangle art is non-judgmental and unplanned, so you can focus on each stroke and no need to worry about the result. There is no right or wrong, so an eraser is not part of the tools in Zentangle Kit. Instead of erasing “mistake”, Zentangle teaches you how to incorporate what seem like “mistakes” into the overall pattern of the design. It is a great metaphor for everyday life— nothing is perfect, but how you adjust to imperfections (mistakes or the unexpected) in life is what really matters.
