What is Zentangle?
The Zentangle® Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. It was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas. "Zentangle" is a registered trademark of Zentangle, Inc. The term 'tangling' is the correct term to describe the patterns created, and tangling the verb, which involves creating intricate patterns and designs through structured, repetitive strokes. This practice promotes mindfulness and relaxation by encouraging a focus on the present moment. By immersing oneself in the deliberate creation of these abstract patterns, individuals often experience reduced stress and anxiety, enhanced concentration, and an overall sense of calm and well-being. Tangling is an accessible and non-intimidating approach to art that allows individuals, with no artistic background, to engage in a creative process that nurtures self-expression and self-discovery. With an ethos of 'no mistakes', it is non judgmental and not competitive.
