Each student got a 'quarter' to complete and then we created a display of circles. A great way to do a group project where each student still gets to take their own work home.
After some feedback (thanks Phyl), Ive decided to call these zen-doodles!

Zen-Doodles Group Project
I had never heard of zentangles until recently....to me it was doodling! (and doodling it will remain!) But it turned out to be a great project to do in between bigger and messier projects.

Chani I love these, they are really good!
ReplyDeleteThanks Clare.....clever little munchkins I have!
ReplyDeleteThey look terrific, but please, continue to call it doodling! Or 'controlled doodling' (doodling with parameters). Or even zen doodling, but not zentangles!
ReplyDeleteZentangles is a marketing gimmick, so that someone can sell classes, and special papers and pens, and make money off something we've all been doing for free forever, simply by giving it an official name.
I was wondering how I had never heard of it before.....doodling it is!

ReplyDeleteLove these! They are so interesting to look at. Nice small scale so kids can complete in a reasonable amount of time. Love the circular format too!

A lovely 'doodling' project! Thank you Phyl for telling me how 'zentangles' came about - like Chani I had never heard the term before I started my blog in August this year, and suddenly they were everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of each child making a quarter. Have you seen this You tube.http://pinterest.com/pin/90072061268699327/
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to show the children before a lesson like yours.
Thanks Gretchen.....I will check out the YouTube vid!
ReplyDeleteThe Zen-Doodles Group Project is a collaborative creative activity that encourages students to express their imagination through intricate patterns, repetitive designs, and artistic illustrations. Working together, participants create a large doodle artwork by combining individual contributions into a unified composition. This project promotes creativity, concentration, and mindfulness while allowing students to experiment with different shapes, textures, and visual elements in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to enhancing artistic skills, the Zen-Doodles Group Project fosters teamwork, communication, and mutual respect as students collaborate to achieve a common creative goal. The activity helps reduce stress, improve focus, and build confidence by encouraging self-expression without emphasizing perfection.IEEE Projects for CSE. By blending creativity with collaboration, the project provides an engaging learning experience that supports emotional well-being, strengthens interpersonal relationships, and cultivates an appreciation for art and collective achievement.
