Description

Giraffe Zen by Debi Starr depicts two giraffe shapes filled with black and white designs known as Zentangles. The boldness of the giraffes against the warm wood tones is beautiful. This piece incorporating wood, stain, ink and paint is simple yet intricate at the same time. It would look great in an African Safari themed room.
*****
This painting was a project I taught my adult art class. It addressed lines, shapes, patterns and composition, as well as positive and negative space design. I taught them how to stain their wood support. After drying, they drew their design out with chalk and painted in white. While drying, they practiced different Zentangle designs.
Zentangles are easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Almost anyone can use it to create beautiful images. It increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction along with an increased sense of personal well being. The Zentangle method is enjoyed all over this world across a wide range of skills, interests and ages.
Once their white paint was dry they completed their designs in india ink. It proved to be a very successful project.
