Zentangles or Doodles…..?

 

So, is there a scientific difference between “zentangles” and “doodles”? 

I admit zentangles sounds much cooler than doodles!  For teaching purposes, I think they are interchangeable…..we won’t split hairs, as they say.

For the next Vein of Gold class I’m assisting in teaching we will be playing with zentangle/doodles.  Only a few of the folks in this class are artists, so we are trying to keep the art part of the class simple and unintimidating.  We planning on turning them loose,next week, on a project similar to the pumpkin.

These are few of my past doodle/zentangles…….

Playing with doodles on letters is really absorbing and can take you to another “place”!  I think that’s what zentangles and doodles have most in common….you can zone out!
