About this ebook

This book is a story . . . a story about Leland. He is in fourth grade and has not done well in school. He become acquainted with a Certified Zentangle Teacher, a CZT, and learn how to create beautiful artwork by drawing tangles. Zentangle is a focused method of drawing repetitive patterns to make tiles. Children as well as adults can learn to create these patterns by following along as Leland learns to draw these repetitive patterns called tangles. Some of the tangles Leland (and the reader) learns are Hollibaugh, Bales, and Crescent Moon along with many others. The Zentangle Method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns.

Don McCollum was introduced to Zentangle® by his daughter, Kathryn. She ran across the meditative drawing website on the internet. and thought it would be a pastime she could share with her dad. During a visit home in 2009, she stayed up later every night to learn a pattern and left her rendition for her dad to see each morning. Within the subsequent year, they traveled to Boston for a Zentangle certification workshop. Don became a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT) in 2010. He is a retired elementary school teacher and describes himself as a lifelong learner.Joyce Block, helping Don with a computer problem, was exposed to his Zentangle drawings. Joyce, going through the throws of unsettled retirement issues, asked Don what he had been doing to keep himself busy during his retirement. "Zentangle!" he answered, "a meditative art form." After receiving minimal instruction from Don, she went home to practice and found she needed many more patterns. With Don's help and encouragement, she learned more patterns and became intrigued with the idea that she could create pieces of art. Shortly after, she flew to Providence to become a Certified Zentangle Teacher. She is a church musician and a retired technology teacher.Don and Joyce became enamored with the process of Zentangle. They wanted to share this art form with everyone. They team teach in elementary, middle, and high schools, retreat centers, classes for challenged youth, diabetic support groups, church groups, cancer support groups and retirement centers.

    Chapter 1 Kid Zentangle®

    They didn’t call me the Kid Zentangle® right away.

    Some time has to pass as I tell you about myself. My real name is Leland Krantz and school wasn’t the best place for me. My mind was always outside and what the teacher was teaching seemed only good for the smart kids.

    Because I didn’t pay attention, I did other things like make paper airplanes and doodle in my notebook. I never finished assignments.

    In first-grade art, I took a crayon from the pail and colored on the underside of the table. The teacher caught me and made me stay after school and wash off the crayon with a rag and cold water. For some reason, I knew you couldn’t wash off wax crayon with a rag and cold water. When the teacher thought I had been punished enough, she let me go home.

    Things went pretty well until third grade. It was then I couldn’t or wouldn’t learn my multiplication tables through the nines. I flunked for that reason, or so I thought. I now knew I was dumb—or was I?

    One day a lady visited our class in fourth or fifth grade. She seemed to be watching me. At the end of the day she asked if she could talk to me after school. You know, sit a spell, she said.

    Okay, I said.
