Zentangle: Yoga for Your Brain

The Elmwood Hall Danbury Senior Center presents Zentangle: Yoga for Your Brain What is Zentangle? Zentangle is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. We call these patterns, tangles. You create tangles with combinations of dots, lines, simple curves, S-curves and orbs. These simple shapes are the "Elemental Strokes" in all Zentangle art. These patterns are drawn on small pieces of paper called "tiles." We call them tiles because you can assemble them into mosaics. Zentangle art is non-representational and unplanned so you can focus on each stroke and not worry about the result. There is no up or down to Zentangle art. In fact, you can most easily create Zentangle art by rotating your tile as you tangle -- always keeping your hand in a relaxed position. You don't need to know what a tangle is going to look like to draw it. You just need to know the steps. The result is a delightful surprise. As you use the Zentangle to create beautiful images, you likely will enjoy increased focus, creativity, self-confidence and an increased sense well-being. No art or drawing experience necessary. Join certified Zentangle Instructor Kathy Phillips for this relaxing art class. This program is open to all Danbury Senior Center Members age 60+. Registration is required.
