Create Your Own Patterns & Motifs - Zentangle Inspired Art
Develop your own Meditative Art Practice
Description
Drawing patterns with repetitive strokes always puts you in a zen state of mind, and is considered to be a highly relaxing (and almost meditative) activity. Whether you are a professional artist or someone who's just starting out, the creative mind is always looking for fresh inspiration when it comes to making new designs and motifs.
Well, guess what? You can build unlimited patterns for your creative projects, using just simple tools and techniques.
Hi! I'm Ridhi Rajpal, a Certified Zentangle Teacher, a Film-Maker & a Multidisciplinary Artist from India. In this class, I will help you to blur the lines between Observation and Imagination, and work with Zentangle-inspired techniques to build design ideas. From architecture to food, fashion to botany, everything around us is filled with unlimited design inspiration, and all we have to do to get started is to observe those ideas and convert them into patterns! Yes, it's really that simple! And I will show you exactly how to do it!
My goal in this class is to equip you with all the tools and techniques required to develop your own designs and patterns from scratch. You will gain the ability, skill and confidence to turn your inspiration into beautiful creations with your own unique creative voice.
By using reference images, we will learn to identify shapes and then use them creatively to convert them into beautiful patterns. We will also learn about composition and shading in our class project. And I promise, by the end of the course, no reference image will intimidate you anymore! You will be able to turn literally any source of inspiration for yourself into beautiful patterns.
So come, join me in this wonderful adventure where we get our creative juices flowing and dive deep into the world of patterns, Zentangle style!
