1-2 hours per week. Each lesson will contain a hands-on component for students to complete. Students are not required to post their final art pieces, but it will be strongly encouraged.Assessment
Students have the option to post their pattern palettes and art work in the classroom for evaluation. Please note that I will not evaluate how closely they stuck to the patterns. Zentangle patterns are abstract and part of the Zentangle Method states, "there are no mistakes in Zentangle." I will, however, assess their colored pencil and shading techniques and provide feedback and pointers to help them refine their abilities.Class Experience
Beginner - Advanced Level
Develop colored pencil skills while exploring The Zentangle Method of drawing through this guided fantasy undersea landscape art project. We will learn patterns and shading techniques with graphite and ink. Then we will learn how to create depth and dimension using colored pencils. This class is perfect for beginning and advanced artists and can easily scale to challenge any level of ability. Students will learn several Zentangle patterns, creating pattern palettes with pens and shading them with graphite, and learning how to create highlights, lowlights, depth, and roundness in both black and white and color. Once completed, students launch into the final project: creating a fantasy underwater scene using those learned patterns and skills, then bringing it to life with colored pencils to create depth and visual impact. Please note that this class requires high quality colored pencils such as Prismacolor to create the effects that are taught. Lower quality student pencils, such as Crayola and Rose Art, will not give the desired results. The Zentangle Method® asks us to quiet our inner critic and take each part of the drawing one pen stroke at a time. The patterns are learn-as-you-go so students will be encouraged to draw along with me as they create their pattern palettes. The pattern palettes will give them a chance to practice patterns and colored pencil techniques before diving into their art pieces. For the undersea project, students will have the option of following my design or creating their own with the patterns they learned. Once the art pieces are inked, students will build on their technique skills, incorporating what they learned during the pattern palette creation while using color to explore interactions between the pattern elements in the scene. This is a self-paced class, so there are no live classes. Students will be given a series of video lessons to walk them through the patterns, technique, and design. They should expect to spend 1 - 2 hours each week on the lessons and their art work. I check on my self-paced classes on Monday afternoons (eastern time) and review work then. Students can always send me messages if they would like me to look at something sooner or if they have questions. I typically respond within one business day - sometimes much sooner.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT). I am trained in the Zentangle Method® and the best practices for teaching the art form. I decided to pursue the certification after several years of working with Zentangle patterns in my own art pieces. I regularly create designs in both black & white and color. I particularly enjoy using colored pencils, watercolors, and chalk pastels in my creations.
