Virtual Mindful Art Workshop.
Using the Zentangle method.
What? This is mindful pattern-making at its best. Using simple strokes, called Elemental Strokes, which repeat and build on each other, you will learn how to create some lovely patterns or "tangles", freehand. You not only create the patterns, but will learn how to shade and blend to create 3D effects.
How long is it? 60 minutes.
How much is it? £34.50pp + VAT with kits - please enquire for a quote if you’d prefer to provide your own materials.
Do you have a minimum group size? The minimum group size with kits is 8 pax.
How is it hosted? Your workshop will be led by Vanessa, our Certified Zentangle®️ Teacher. Hosted on Zoom or a video platform of your choice.
What will you need? If you opt for the workshop only, you will need to source your own materials. You will need a piece of plain paper, a pencil, black fine liner and coloured pencils if you wish to add some colour.
The benefits of mindful art.
Practicing the Zentangle method is a brilliant virtual team building activity which creates a time for exploring and learning new techniques together, and promotes team bonding through a mindful and meditative art form. The pensive nature of Zentangle promotes focus and reduces stress, leading to improved productivity and a positive work environment.
There are many mental and emotional benefits of mindful art:
Changes in brain patterns reflecting a calm, focused state of attention
Development of neural pathways in your brain that enable you to create and focus on art making
Improved intuition and trust in your own body (how you are feeling and what it means)
Increased emotional awareness
Increased creative thinking and imagination
Increased sense of control and ability to share inner thoughts
Improved awareness of underlying issues that have been hidden
Ability to communicate abstract feelings
Increased self-esteem and self-acceptance
Improved attention span
What is Zentangle?
The Zentangle Method is an fun and easy to learn way to create beautiful illustrations by drawing a series of repeated patterns or ‘tangles’. You create tangles with a combination of dots, lines, curves and arches - these are the "Elemental Strokes" which form all Zentangle art. Each pattern is first drawn onto a ‘tile’, which can then be put together to create a mosaic.
The art of Zentangle is all created through spontaneity and creativity - this offers a freedom in working stroke by stroke, without a finite end goal in sight. By trusting your flow of strokes, you’ll be surprised by the outcome of the final piece.
