Welcome to the wonderful world of Zentangle creativity! Thank you for visiting.

The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.

Explore the links on the left to learn more about the benefits and beauty of the Zentangle Method and our nourishing world-wide Zentangle community.

The Eight Steps of the Zentangle Method

Step 01 - Gratitude and Appreciation

Get comfortable, take a few deep breaths and feel gratitude and appreciation - for this beautiful paper, for these wonderful tools, for this opportunity to create something beautiful.

Step 02 - Corner Dots

We teach beginning Zentangle Method with beautiful museum grade cotton paper, 3.5 inches (89 mm) square. To answer a familiar question of what to put on this beautiful paper, place a light pencil dot in each corner, about a pen's width from the edges. Now it's no longer a blank piece of paper.

Step 03 - Border

Connect those dots with a light pencil line, straight or curvy, to create a square. This is your border.

Step 04 - String

Inside the border, draw a light pencil line or lines to make what we call a "string." The string separates your tile into sections, in which you draw your tangles. A string can be any shape. It may be a curvy line that touches the edge of the border now and then, or series of straight lines that go from one side of the border to the next.

Step 05 - Tangle

A tangle is a predefined sequence of simple strokes that make up a pattern. Draw your tangles in pen inside (usually) the pencil strings and borders. Tangle is both noun and verb. Just as you dance a dance, you tangle your tangles. Draw your tangles with deliberate strokes. Don't worry about what it's going to look like. Just focus on each stroke of the pen as you make it. Trust that you'll know what to do next when the time to do it comes. There is no up or down to Zentangle art so feel free to rotate your tile in any direction that is most comfortable for your hand as you draw.

Step 06 - Shade

Add shades of gray with a graphite pencil to bring contrast and dimension to your tile. The black and white two-dimensional tangles transform through shading and appear three-dimensional. You can also use a tortillion (a paper blending stump) to soften and blend the graphite.

Step 07 - Initial and Sign

This is art you created. You should sign it. Put your initials on the front (many people create a unique monogram or chop for this step). On the back, place your name, date, comments and observations.

Step 08 - Appreciate

Hold your tile at arm's length. Turn it this way and that. Appreciate what you just created.

The chaotic brilliance of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Like Beat writers who composed their work by shredding and reassembling scraps of writing, artist Jean-Michel Basquiat used similar techniques to remix his materials. Pulling in splintered anatomy, reimagined historical scenes and skulls, he repurposed present day experiences and art history into an inventive visual language. Jordana Moore Saggese explores the chaotic and prolific art of Basquiat. [Directed by Héloïse Dorsan Rachet, narrated by Christina Greer, music by Stephen LaRosa].

This is for you! From easy to more challenging... step-by-step instructions for kids!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
These origami instructions and diagrams were written to be as easy to follow as possible. I recommend using origami paper if you want them to turn out nice, but regular paper will do fine for simple diagrams.

For those who are unfamiliar with origami, it is the art of folding paper into a sculpture without using glue or scissors. This may seem like a daunting task, but it's entirely possible to fold paper into very sophisticated and beautiful designs.

Most origami instructions and diagrams here will be easy in order to not discourage you, but feel free to tackle the harder ones if you feel daring want some challenge.

There are many shapes to choose from so pick a category from the menu. Once you select a shape, you'll be presented with the origami instructions and diagrams for it. Have fun 🙂

These are the buttons on the top row of the interface - the ones with the cool patterns. Here you can select various 'rainbow' palettes. The brush will change color automatically as you paint when you use one of these 'rainbow' palettes.

If you want to use a solid color or choose colors manually, then select the left-most button (the button with a solid color/has no pattern).

Drag the scrollbar left or right to reveal more rainbow palettes.

Click this button to select the canvas background color.

Drag the slider handle to change the brush size (this will deactivate DynaBrush).

Check this box to make brush size change dynamically in random fashion as you paint. Click to toggle on/off.

Why use this feature? The varying brush size adds variations, giving the kaleidoscope a more organic look.

Click this button to download the painting into your computer as a standard image ( png) file. The file can then be opened in an image editing program such as Paint or Adobe Photoshop. (If you can't open the file, please append ".png" to the filename.)

If this feature doesn't work for you, please make sure that you're using the latest browser ( Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari).

Alternatively if you do not have a latest browser, you can use the screen capture feature on your computer: Windows instruction here (CNET site), Mac instruction here (Apple Support site).

Phone/tablet user: unfortunately at this moment this feature is not supported on most tablets/phones. On the phones that do support it, you can usually find the file under the Download folder.

Print the the image.

Note: To save printer ink, we recommend that you use a lighter canvas background color or switch it to white/cyan before printing (use the Bg Color button to change the background color).

Phone/tablet user: unfortunately at this moment this feature is not supported on tablets/phones.

Click this button to clear the canvas. (Make sure to use the Save Image feature first if you want to save your current painting.)

When the box is ticked, the program will draw by itself, similar to automatic painting machine. Click to toggle on/off.
