What is a Zentangle?
A zentangle is an unplanned, structured pattern, usually created on small square tiles in black and white. The patterns are called tangles.
You can make a tangle with one or a combination of dots, lines, curves, etc. Zentangle art can be very relaxing because there is no pressure to focus on the end result. It is an easy form of process art for kids!
