PAH830 Everyday Zentangle (ZOOM) Monday, 1:30- 3 p.m., Meets Online, Z The term Everyday Zentangle suggests not only doing Zentangle drawing every day but also having your Zentangle drawing be comfortable
and familiar and a regular activity to do. Sometimes, however, when one is drawing one pattern and another, one’s mind goes blank and cannot remember a thing! This class will provide the perfect solution for that situation – a Tangle Spinner!! The Spinner is a giant wheel filled with patterns and a spinnable arrow which can point to patterns to use to proceed with your drawing. We will spend some sessions making the Spinner and then more time using it. Come join us for the fun we will have once more with Zentangle Drawing! Materials Fee of $45 is due to the instructor prior to class. All Materials will be sent to students prior to the first class. Pam Stevenson is a lifelong artist in multiple disciplines including sewing, quilting, embroidery, papercrafts, and drawing. She has been a Certified Zentangle Teacher since 2015 and has taught Zentangle Drawing at OLLI for several years.

In this course, we will listen to and discuss a number of those songs that Dylan considers impactful and why he considers them impactful. Participants will also have the opportunity to challenge Dylan’s assessments. They will be asked to offer their own choice of “impactful songs.” We’ll even get to the point of discussing whether there is indeed a “philosophy of modern song.” As a pre-course assignment, participants will be asked to list in rank order the ten songs they feel were most impactful in their lives.
