Learn the art of Zentangles with LW teacher in weekly classes

ZOOM CLASS

Cathie McCormick, a certified Zentangle teacher, gives Zoom classes each week in the art of drawing designs using structured patterns or Zentangles. She started out in Clubhouse 4 in January under auspices of the LW Art League but has moved onto the Zoom platform because of COVID-19 shutdowns.

Her class is well attended by people who get relief from these stressful times by practicing this lovely art form that combines repetitive strokes in patterns and meditation. According to student Yevette Louie, “her class is very popular and everyone can get great results and spend a relaxing time practicing Zentangle.”

To sign up, visit Cathie’s website at artladytangles.com, and you will receive a Zoom link, a reminder and her Zentangles newsletter.

Cathie’s Friday class is especially designed for beginners. In the Saturday class, more complex tangles are featured it and often includes a Step-Out to help us with the sequence. It is the beautiful repetitive lines and the concentration that really makes the creation of your Zentangle a meditation. This peaceful time clears your mind of worries and anxieties and does wonders for the body and spirit, according to her newsletter.

Her students are counseled to practice during the week and try to make a Zentangle part of their day. For ideas between classes, go to zentangle.com, YouTube and zentanglepatterns.com.
