Vocabulary:
Line: A line is a basic element of art, referring to a continuous mark, made on a surface, by a moving point.
Shape: shape is an enclosed space, the boundaries of which are defined by other elements of art
Space: An element of art, space refers to distances or areas around, between or within components of a piece. Space can be positive (white or light) or negative (black or dark), open or closed, shallow or deep and two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Sometimes space isn't actually within a piece, but the illusion of it is.
Pattern: Pattern is one of the principles of art, which is the repetition of one or more elements of art, like line, shape or color.
Zentangle: way of creating images through repetitive patterns and shapes to create positive and negative space. Zentangle® is a meditative process of creating art, wherein simple shapes and lines combine to make a complicated and interesting final piece of artwork. The focus of Zentangle is on the process of creation, rather than the end result. The beauty of Zentangle is that there is no right way or wrong way. If you can draw a line and a circle (perfectly or not), you can Zentangle. Zentangle is an art concept that is engaging, approachable, and fun enough for someone who has never picked up any art tools or created a piece of art, yet is still meditative, productive, and creative enough for an advanced artist to enjoy.

We will be talking about Imam Hussain (a.s.) and the event that took place in Karbala on the day of Ashura and the importance of commemoration of this event and making artwork for Imam Hussain (a.s.) to spread the message of Imam Husssain (a.s.)
Imam Hussain: Hussain was born in 620 AD to a family famed for their values of equality, love and peace. Raised by his grandfather Muhammad (the last prophet of Islam) Hussain was a figure known for his integrity, generosity of spirit and blindness to colour, social class and personal beliefs. www.whoishussain.org
