Have you ever heard of zentangling? In this enrichment experience, students will create a unique self-portrait that incorporates the skill of zentangling.  Students will learn about the use of line and pattern through zentangles, while also learning the basics of color theory.  Each week, students will focus on a new skill to further their ‘ZenTangled Hair’ portrait.  In the final week, students will have a completed zentangle-inspired piece of artwork!

This enrichment experience will meet weekly on Thursdays at 10:30am. The session will run for six weeks starting the week of October 7th.

Instructor will contact each enrolled student with more information, and a list of any required materials.
