Zentangle Seed 11th & 12th Class

Today is the last class of our Zentangle Seed classes for the almost past 3 months. Due to next week is the holiday season and most of our classmates would not be here, thus Teacher Mici decided to compact today class into 2 sessions.

We would continue to learn about Zendala, and the final session is draw the zentangle patterns onto our hands. Everyone was so excited about it.

Teacher Gek Lan taught us another style of Zendala, also using compass and draw on the coloured Zendala white tile. And new tangle patterns as well. We practice in the class for one part and we were told to continue finish the rest in the home.

In second session Teacher Mici came in to teach about drawing on our arms or hand, just like how to draw inai. The differences is the pen we use. She encourages us to use eyeliner if we have, as it it more suitable to draw on our skin.

Everyone was so enjoying drawing on their own hand. And got excited and very high! it was like we were partying at the end of the class. Everyone felt a little bit sad that it was so soon that 3 months class have to come to an end. We learned so much from each other as well.

Teacher Mici is so kind that she did short video for us! And, below is my design!

禅绕的印记，把对禅绕的喜爱淋漓精致的发挥，每个人都展开笑颜面对这不能长久却深深烙印在记忆里的美丽收揽在这一季的青春回忆里。致青春那曾经的笑颜，那曾经的自己。~ 美子老师

Zentangle Seed 10th Class

Today we learned Zendala. This time using the coloured Zendala white tile which we did last 2 lessons. Teacher Gek Lan taught us some new tangle pattern.

And, she taught us how we can create Zendalas by carefully measuring to find the centre of the circle and working outwards. She taught how to do it by using a compass to divide the sections.

Well, this is my Zendala using the compass. And, I quite like it. May be it is because of the bright colour in the centre of the Zendala that gives me the felling of ‘Hope’ and ‘Light’.

Zentangle Seed 9th Class

Today we continue the dream catcher design that taught last week. As usual we shared our work last week.

Then, Teacher Xue Wen taught us to use the starlight pen to draw the design of the dream catcher web.

Later how we can draw the feathers of the catcher.

Then, everyone of us was so amazed with our own work!

Zentangle Seed 8th Class

Before we started our class today, Teacher Mici asked us to bring out the homework out and joined the patterns in.

Then we took out the last week Zendala tiles that we made, Teacher Mici taught us to draw with the combination of black and white tile. And taught us the new type of tangle patterns. Here was Teacher Mici’s.

After I managed to complete mine. It looks like this. I am not really like the brown pen that I done but it is how it is turn out.

Zentangle Seed 7th Class

Today Teacher Mici asked us to use the black ink to dye some portion of the white Zendala tiles. We did it for about 2 Zendala tiles and let it dry for the following week lesson.

Today we started to draw black tiles. We were introduced with Sakura white gelly roll pen and Sakura star dust pen to draw on black tiles, and black charcoal as well to darken the shades.

Zentangle Seed 6th Class

Today we have more fun things to play with! Before we start our class drawing the colour jewels, Teacher Gek Lan asked us to do some colouring for the Zendala paper tiles which we will be using in the following classes.

We just picked 3 magic pens colour that we like, draw it on a plastic sheet, and spray some water onto the colours let it kind of mix together. Then we just put the paper on top of the surface, let the paper stay for a while and take it up.

After we prepared all that needed, Teacher Gek Lan taught us to draw coloured jewels. It is the same method as drawing on the Renaissance paper, just instead of using graphite and white charcoal pencils, use the colour pencil. Pastel colour pencil would be better.

 

It kinds of reminds me of my art classes during the school days, it is all about shadows and lights, which make the things looks more 3D feel.

We have a group photo in the end of the class as usual!

Here is mine!

Zentangle Seed 5th Class

We shared our last week work in the class and learned from each others how to get to draw some specific tangle patterns or ideas of the tangles.

We learned how to draw the maruso pattern design. It is the combination of black graphite and white charcoal pencil. It is interesting to know how can we mix and match the design like this!

This is my work today!

Zentangle Seed 4th Class

Today Teacher Gek Lan taught us how to draw jewel or diamond using Renaissance tile. This time we did use some tools such as circle or eclipse template for the shapes.

Using Renaissance tile, I learned using more tools such as the white charcoal pencil to highlight the brightness of the light and brown colour pen. Besides the lightness, I still can shade the shadow using black graphite pencil too.

This is my jewels!

Zentangle Seed 3rd Class

Today we started with the Renaissance tile, and we learned about how to create the basic tangle patterns from the within or outer shape. We had learned this during our first Zentangle class 2 months ago. It sort of relearn.

Then, Teacher Mici taught us to draw something related with the Halloween as it is around the corner.

 

Finally she asked us to draw something related to our mood today.

Well.. before we went back home, we had a group photo ^^

Here are my work today… I do not like it very much though…

Zentangle Seed 2nd Class

Today Teacher Gek Lan taught us another new design, it looks like a sea shell or a pearl.

It was kind of difficult for me to draw and I do not like much about this new design. Hopefully go back home, then I have more time to practice and see how others draw this design.

Zentangle Seed 1st Class

Well… this is the 2nd time I joined with the Puchong Tzu Chi Continuing Education Centre organised classes.

It is the 禅绕种子班 which on the same time from 10/10/2019 till 26/12/2019 with total 12 classes. We will learn from Zentangle using white paper tile, renaissance paper tile, black paper tile, Zendala and apply the Zentangle patterns we know on clothing or related art products.

Today Teacher Gek Lan taught us and refreshed our skills and memories from where we started – Bijou and White Tile. From the 8 Steps of Zentangle Method, we drew our own again ^^

This is what I did today. It was kind of awkward that pick up the Pigma pen again and started again after left out for so long. Well… It feels good again to feel and able to enjoy the process of letting my mind to fly free again.
