Zentangle is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and beautiful way to draw structured patterns. These patterns are called, tangles. Tangles are combinations of dots, lines, simple curves, S-curves and orbs. Zentangle patterns are drawn on small pieces of paper called "tiles." So named because they can be assemble into mosaics.

This art form is non-representational and unplanned so you can focus on each stroke and not worry about the result. The meditation element has helped people focus, become more creative, self-confidence and an have an increased sense well-being.

It was created around 2003 by a monk named Rick Roberts and an artist named Maria Thomas.
