Zentangle is known as  a way  to create structured designs  through drawing various  patterns. Sometimes 
mistakenly called “Zendoodling” or “tangle doodling,” Zentangling is actually a formalized process that defines 
itself  as  something  other  than  mere  doodling. Rick  Roberts  and  Mary  Thomas  are  the  originators  of  the 
trademarked Zentangle method. Basically, it is a specific way to draw images, most often in black pen on white 
paper.  Zentangle  has  become  an  international  phenomenon  that  now  has  applications  in  stress  reduction, 
education, therapy and even motivational training. 
Zentangle itself may be relatively new, but the basic principles involved are as old as the history of art. It 
includes ritual, which is a core practice in ancient and contemporary arts. It also mirrors the symbols, designs and 
patterns of numerous cultures, such as Mayan, Maori, Celtic, and American Indian, from ancient through present 
times. And like “doodling,” it is based on a human behavior in which one refrains from planning and allows lines 
and shapes to unintentionally emerge. 
There are numerous books on the formal method of Zentangle that will help you get started. These books 
provide  numerous  designs  and  show  you how  to  create  various  patterns,  step-by-step.  Or  simply search  the 
Internet to find instructions and inspiration for designs—then make up your own once you have practiced a few 
patterns. You really only need a few materials to create your designs: a pencil used to mark out guidelines and to 
shade areas of designs, a black pen, and heavy white drawing paper. The traditional practice of Zentangling uses 
3 ½  inch square tiles made of special paper. But you can cut your own choice of paper into squares or completely 
break the rules, and tangle on whatever type of paper you want to.   
Why am I interested in Zentangle? While the process may look intricate, it is a deceptively simple pathway 
to relaxation  and inner focus. In fact, proponents  of the practice note that  it has multiple  benefits  including 
calming an anxious mind, increasing self-confidence, and cultivating moment-to-moment awareness in a similar 
way as mindfulness meditation.   
 
【1】46. What is the main purpose of the passage? 
 To inform people of the basics of Zentangle. 
 To compare Zentangle with other forms of art. 
 To propose possible ways for revolutionizing Zentangle. 
 To persuade art educators that Zentangle should be taught. 
【4】47. According to the passage, which of the following is true about “doodling”? 
 It requires strong motivation. 
 It is derived from four ancient cultures. 
 Certain religious rituals could help people doodle better. 
 You do not know what the end result would be like when you start. 
【3】48. Based on the passage, in which of the following areas can Zentangle be applied? 
 Traditional architecture.     The training of professional artists. 
 Stress management and personal well-being.   The research and development of artistic design. 
【4】49. Which of the following materials is NOT used in Zentangle? 
 A pencil.   A black pen.   White paper.   A 3 ½  inch square tile. 
【2】50. Which of the following statements is true about Zentangle? 
 It can be dated back to ancient Maya.   You can find the know-how quite easily. 
 When you are anxious, do not try Zentangle.   Patterns drawn have to be parallel and show mirror images.
