Doodling Defined: Zentangles - SATURDAY AFTERNOON - one day workshop
All Levels
We all do it – whenever the meeting gets boring, or the teacher drones on too long, we take out our pens and start doodling. This fun class will formalize your doodling just enough to make you want to do it all the time – not just when you’re on interminable hold with the telephone company. You’ll learn new patterns and ways to put them together, and maybe you’ll even invent some to share with the class. This is a fun and interactive class for all ages. Class is appropriate for ages 10 and up. Children under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult.
Saturday, February 11, 10:00 – 4:00 PM, $85
To enroll, contact the Visual Arts Center at 804-353-0094

Susan's a great teacher, very encouraging, knowledgeable, organized and can tailor a student's needs to his/her progress
Susan presented very concrete, well-planned lessons which included thorough explanations and examples of materials (papers, types of pastels), techniques and approaches to the medium. She was encouraging and positive in her instruction, always able to find good qualities in each person's work.
This was by far the most comprehensive coverage of pastel painting I've ever had. I don't see how the class could have been better!
I feel like I'm improving not only my skills, but also my ability to see what I need to do to improve my painting. It really helps for Susan to point out what is "off" or what needs to be approached next.
Susan's critiques (each class) helped us to progress more rapidly. She is very encouraging, yet challenging. I also learned a lot about color theory and application, which have made me much better able to work in pastels.
