Self-Paced Zentangle Art Classes for Ages 12-18
The Zentangle® art form combines a unique way to relax and focus with super cool patterns. While these patterns are fun all by themselves, they can also work with other art techniques. My self-paced Zentangle Art Classes teach kids the basic art form and how to incorporate colored pencil or watercolor wash technique. Zentangle often models the abstract patterns on something from the real world. This opens up a realm of possibilities for beginner artists who fear they can’t draw. Learning Zentangle gives the added benefit of breaking down a bigger thing into smaller pieces/patterns – the concept carries over into other drawing techniques! Each class also features a way to add color to the pattern work. Students always have the option to work in black and white, but they will also learn colored pencil technique or watercolor wash technique to bring their creations to life.
Even though students work at their own pace, they have access to me while they work. I love it when students share their creations with me. I encourage students to put their own spin on the patterns and how they layout their project. Of course, they can draw exactly what I do, but I offer them choices for embellishments and variations on the patterns. Beginner students might only focus on learning the patterns and the basic color technique, but more advanced students may wish to branch out. The classes meet students where they are and can be revisited if they wish to build on the basics.
All of my self-paced Zentangle Art Classes are hosted on Outschool. When you register, you pick the start date, so you can be sure it fits in your busy kid’s schedule.

About Outschool
The Outschool platform started as a small learning site geared towards homeschoolers. The pandemic saw an influx of students from traditional schooling backgrounds and Outschool responded. Now, it’s a popular platform that serves students world-wise with thousands of teachers and topics. Outschool provides a safe, inclusive space for all learners and has been a part of our family’s homeschool journey since 2017. I became a teacher there in 2020 when the pandemic forced me to close my in-person studio.
