    Learn to develop your own sketch journal, based on travel, nature, or everyday observation of the world around you. Sketching can be a way to improve your drawing skills, develop a concept for a painting, or it can be a way to record your memories. Most important, it can be just for fun!

    We will explore ways to incorporate your sketches along with quotes, poems, meditations, or other tidbits to create a personal sketch journal. Between classes, you can continue to work on your own.

    Sketchbooks and pencils will be provided. Bring a small watercolor set, markers, fine line sharpies, found objects from nature that you might like to draw, photos from your travels, and any other materials you might enjoy using.

    http://artscentereast.org/event/zentangle-fun-relaxing-meditative-drawing-technique-2-2/

    Tangling involves making short strokes that create intricate patterns on paper tiles. While Zentangle produces beautiful artwork, the focus of this class will be on the relaxing process. You will learn many tangle patterns and explore interesting effects e.g. using black paper with white and metallic pen and pencil. One session will be devoted to Renaissance tiles, a lovely technique on parchment or tea-stained paper. As the session progresses, we will build on our increasing repertoire of techniques and tangles and experiment with adding color. Anyone can tangle!  (Repeat students are welcome. We will build on what you’ve learned!)

    Instructor Elizabeth Krall is a certified Zentangle teacher who received her BA from Trinity College and her M.A.L.S. with a concentration in studio arts from Wesleyan. Her work has been shown in galleries throughout Connecticut.

    Dates: Mondays, April 2 – May 7

    Tangling involves making short strokes that create intricate patterns on paper tiles. While Zentangle produces beautiful artwork, the focus of this class will be on the relaxing process. you will learn many tangle patterns and explore interesting effects, e.g. using black paper with white and metallic pen and pencil. One session will be devoted to Renaissance tiles, a lovely technique on parchment or tea-stained paper. As the session progresses, we will build on our increasing repertoire of techniques and tangles and experiment with adding color. Anyone can tangle! Repeat students are welcome. We will build on what you’ve learned.

    Instructor Elizabeth Krall is a certified Zentangle teacher who received her BA from Trinity College and her M.A.L.S. with a concentration in studio arts from Wesleyan. Her work has been shown in galleries throughout Connecticut.
