This is Shie Narutomi from Zentangle instructor

Nice to meet you! I'm Narutomi Fumie, a Zentangle certified instructor.

Do you know about Zentangle? Zentangle is an art method that originated in America, and it is also called yoga drawn with the characteristic of relaxing and concentrating, or drawing sutras.

In this class, I will teach you how to make use of that characteristic to complete a highly complete work by simply concentrating and drawing a pattern even if you don't have a heart for painting.

Learn a variety of patterns with high-quality tools from the official Zentangle

We use high-quality paper sold by Zentangle in the United States. This paper is called “tile,” and it comes in a variety of colors and sizes.

By drawing on the instructor's lead on such a tile, you can concentrate and enjoy a moderate sense of relaxation.

You will learn various terms and techniques from basic strokes and how to apply shadows

The pattern (pattern) used in Zentangle is called a “tangle.” By knowing a lot of tangles, you will be able to create your own works freely.

Anyone who can write letters can finish a work. You'll learn how to draw basic strokes neatly and how to add shadows with a pencil.

Zentangle has a variety of technical terms and techniques. It is a class structure where you can learn naturally as you finish your work many times.

Be sure to apply Zentangle!

Arranging tiles is called a “mosaic.” Arrange the drawn works and try to make an even larger work.

Zentangle is originally black and white and doesn't draw anything specific. However, as you get used to it, you'll want to incorporate various techniques.

Let's try ZIA (Zentangle Inspired Art), which incorporates specific motifs (jewels, flowers), etc., and draws.

Let's incorporate Zentangle into various scenes and enjoy art in our daily lives. I will give you ideas for coloring cards and letters by combining them with letters.

Let's acknowledge ourselves and raise our sense of self-affirmation!

Through Zentangle, we recognize ourselves and increase our sense of self-confidence.

There are no failures in Zentangle. There's no eraser either. If you incorporate the Zentangle way of thinking into your daily life, you'll be able to handle small mistakes with tolerance.

I'll even give you some advice for those who dream of being a Zentangle tutor

I will also give advice for those who fall in love with the appeal of Zentangle in this class, and also explain how to obtain qualifications for those who want to become a lecturer (CZT).
