Zentangling, Line Weight & Breaking the Picture Plane


Here is a small sampling of our zentangling unit
We chose animals that interested us and were very thoughtful about composition. Our goal was to create an exciting subject layout by breaking the picture plane. In non-artspeak, that means laying out your subject so it enters the paper and exits at points to create a great visual. Interestingly, our brains automatically provide the 'information' about the parts of the animals we cannot see.

Weaving demonstration....

So, we interrupt this zentangle lesson for a short video by a Founders artist...we recently got a BIG loom to work on during any free times we have, and well, we are kind of OBSESSED! One of the artists here, made a demo video to show us how its done! Take a look right here:
