These tangles are created with combinations of dots, lines, simple curves, S-curves and orbs. We will draw these patterns on pieces of paper called “tiles.” There are NO mistakes in this method of creativity, no fear of failure or worry about the outcome. You can create BEAUTIFUL art immediately! (Even if you say you don’t have a creative bone in your body!) NOTE: We will NOT repeat tangles taught in the earlier sessions!
