Several of our art standards refer to the various reasons why people create art - and there are many! People create to share thoughts and feelings, to capture moments in history, to make statements, to share opinions, to give back to others, and many other reasons.
One reason some create art however, is as a means of relieving stress and of relaxing. This has been a very stressful time for many of us, and so for this lesson, we are going to focus on a method of creating art known as Zentangle. Zentangle is a structured way of creating a small patterned design that has limitless potential as far as the final product goes, and that many people find to be soothing and stress relieving! In fact, some people that enjoy Zentangle try to create a ‘Tangle’ at least once per day!
