Introduction to Zentangle with Joann Cleckner

Friday October 24, 1–3pm
All skill levels welcome. Materials provided.

Let’s tangle! Zentangle comes from the word “Zen” and “tangle” (entangled, interwoven) and combines creativity with meditation. Stroke by stroke, simple lines are repeated onto paper. Zentangle is an easy method to learn because it consists of structured patterns. With every line, you can dive further into the world of tangles. In a short time, tangles turn into amazing 3D, graphic, elaborate, beautiful tiles. They are unplanned, abstract, and black and white. All proceeds of this class will be donated to Rogue Gallery and Art Center.

Members: $30 Non-Members: $40

Joann Cleckner has taken art, quilting, Zentangle and bookbinding classes for over twenty years.  After retiring, she completed the 36th Zentangle Teacher Training to earn a CZT certificate.  Now that there is more time to “do art” she is hoping to introduce students to the pleasure of The Zentangle Method.

Saturday October 25, 1 – 5pm

Take your Zentangle skills to the next level with Joann.  This class will explore  a more complex string with an over/under framework.  Within that framework you will learn new tangles that can be used as borders.  We will complete this exercise with ideas for designs you could use for greeting cards.  Participants are encouraged to bring their own supplies which include, but are not limited to tiles, micron pen(s), soft lead pencil and a tortillon.  This will be a fun afternoon and you will come away with a work of art you can share.

Paint Like Cézanne with Kristen O’Neill

Saturday November 15, 1–4pm
All Skill Levels Welcome

Join us in painting a copy of a Cézanne! Copying is a time-honored way to learn a master’s secrets, and this class is a great way to learn a bit about Post-Impressionism and why we love Cézanne’s work. All skill levels are welcome—however, this is not a follow-the-leader style class. You will be helped along the way but may not make an exact replica of a masterwork in three hours with no experience. (And that’s okay!) Canvases will be approximately 9″x12″ and we will use acrylic to help speed the process. Taught by Kristen O’Neill, who has years of experience teaching painting. Bring in an image of your favorite Paul Cézanne painting, or we can provide a few options.

Members: $50 Non-members: $55   ALL MATERIALS PROVIDED

Kristen O’Neill graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2003. While in Chicago she realized how important nature is to her artwork. After moving to Oregon in 2015, Kristen discovered she loved teaching as much as she loves painting. She has taught classes to youth and adults at Rogue Gallery, Grants Pass Museum of Art, and Manley Art Center in Brookings, OR. She displays her art in a variety of venues in Southern Oregon. Kristen believes a down-to-earth, fun class is a great way to learn. She is also the Executive Director of Rogue Gallery & Art Center.
