What is a zentangle?
In a word, a doodle. A structured, contained doodle. The term 'Zentangle' was coined by Rick Roberts
and Maria Thomas. A zentangle is an abstract drawing created using repetitive patterns. It is
usually structured within a certain shape. Drawing a zentangle is entertaining, relaxing, and a great way
to express yourself creatively.
Objectives:
By the end of this unit, you will be able to…
…draw a zentangle using the four zentangle steps.
…design complex zentangle patterns using the elements and principles of art.
…demonstrate your knowledge of value.
…recreate a famous artwork using zentangles.

Characteristics of Zentangle
Intuitive Artform
With Zentangle, anyone can create beautiful images from repetitive patterns. This method
is easy to learn and easy to do. And even though it is a specified series of steps, it results
in a creative expression that transcends its own rules.
Fun and Relaxing
Zentangle provides a fun and lighthearted way to relax and intentionally facilitate a shift in
focus and perspective. Zentangle is unencumbered by dogma and cost which can weigh
on other approaches. Nevertheless, Zentangle is sufficiently structured and organized so
you can enjoy and benefit from an activity that otherwise might be considered whimsical.
Abstract
You cannot fail to create a Zentangle. That is because a Zentangle is meant to look like a
Zentangle. It does not need to look like anything else and has no up or down.
Unexpected Results
Zentangle is an unusual approach to art because you have no idea what its result will be
when you begin. Your creation is not restricted by your expectations.

How to Draw a Zentangle:
1. Draw a border outlining the shape of your zentangle. Create a light dot about ¼” from the corners
of your tile. Draw a line from dot to dot. They do not need to be perfectly straight lines! It is very
common to use a square shape, but a zentangle border can be any shape you want.
2. Draw strings. Strings are lines that divide the shape into individual sections. Use a variety of lines
to separate your sections.
3. Fill one section with a repetitive pattern. Don't spend too much time planning the pattern, just
draw. Use the patterns on the next page or the designs or stylization packets for inspiration.
4. Repeat with each section. Change the pattern with each section. Fill each space.
5. Add color and value.

Zentangle Parody Project
 Choose a famous painting to recreate using zentangles. Look through
various art books to get ideas.
 Draw a thicker zentangle frame around the edge of your paper to draw
your parody in.
 Carefully and lightly sketch your painting in pencil within your frame.
 The outlines of the objects within the original painting become the
“string” of your zentangle. Make these lines a bit thicker than all of your
individual zentangle lines.
 The objects themselves within the original painting become “tiles”.
 Be sure to create a unified parody!
o Think principles of art!
 If you choose to add color, do so sparingly…if you use too much color, it
will take away from the overall effect of the zentangle.
 Use thick and thin black Sharpies for the zentangles.
 Add value in your individual zentangle designs using pencil.
 You may use the colored markers provided by the teacher, but please
take care of them and return them back to the package at the end of
class! These are professional grade markers!

an appropriate string
(drawn painting), and
7-8 zentangled
patterns/designs.
Uses excellent and
precise contrast in
lines and patterns;
thick, medium and thin
lines. Uses the full
value scale (8
gradients) and shading
techniques to add
shading. If color is
used, it adds to the
design and does not
distract from it.
Student has taken the
technique being
studied and applied it
in a way that is totally
his/her own. The

Student chose and
attempted to
recreate a famous
painting using
zentangles. Original
painting is
somewhat
recognizable.
Has a border, a
string (drawn
painting), and 5-6
patterns/designs.
Student did not
choose a famous
painting to recreate,
however they did
create a final
zentangled project.
Patterns are
somewhat varied;
attempted to use
elements and
principles to create
unified drawing.
Attempted to fit
appropriate patterns
in the string shape.
Uses OK contrast in
lines and patterns;
thick and thin lines.
Attempts to use full
value scale (4-5
gradients). If color
is used, it is not
used appropriately
and slightly distracts
from the design.
Patterns used are
very similar in style;
drawing is not
unifed. Patterns are
used but don’t fit
well within the
shape of the string.
Student
merely
covered
page in
zentangles;
no
recognizable
objects.
No border;
no string;
less than 3
patterns /
designs
throughout.
No patterns
used. Not
all spaces
have a
pattern;
space not
used wisely.
Uses minimal
contrast in lines and
patterns. Uses bare
minimum of value
scale (2-3
gradients). If color
is used, it is
overwhelmingly
used.
No contrast
in lines and
patterns.
Does not use
value scale.
Student has copied

There is little
evidence of
creativity, but the

the assignment.
Student has not
made much attempt
to meet the
requirements of the
assignment. A
majority of the
assignment has
been copied from

Did not utilize time
well. Artwork is
poorly created and
maintained. Artwork
is torn, smudged, or
has stray marks that
distract from the
image. Artwork is
sloppily signed.
No creativity
attempted.
Artwork is a
