ZENTANGLES
Thursday, Feb. 17, 1-3 p.m., Toni Johnson
Zentangle is an easy-to-learn, relaxing and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns, called “tangles.” Tangles are formed using a combination of dots, lines, curves and obs. When several tangles are used together, a non-representational, unplanned, intricate design can be formed. Zentangle art is a great way to be creative without feeling like you have to be able to draw well. Learn and practice new tangles in every class. $20 for ACYC members, $24 not-yet-members.
