Doodle art is such a mixture of painting and drawing, which is made in fun or whatever environment instead of concentration. Many people have a special habit, sometimes they are seen drawing pictures on copy, on paper and sometimes on books or desks. These pictures are called doodles. The doodle tells the attitude and thinking of the person. If a person draws a particular picture repeatedly with slanting lines, it tells a lot about his personality. Doodle experts can tell a great deal about the nature of someone through the pictures made by him.
Big IT companies are also using doodle art to relieve stress of their employees or for meditation. Especially among the youth, there is a tremendous craze to learn this art. Recently, school-college students, who arrived in large numbers in a three-day art exhibition in Sector-16A, Noida, understood the nuances of this art from international level doodle artist. He has been the winner of the World Doodle Art Competition held in Cape Town, South Africa in 2014. In 2017, he was a judge in this competition held in California. At present, he is teaching people the nuances of this art of mixing painting and drawing. According to him, Google's doodle is actually a very small part of this art. Doodle art is similar to painting art of India. But it originated from western countries. From there this art has reached other countries including India. Inspired by doodle-truck art from long ago in rural India. It has long been a tradition to paint beautifully on trucks, so that truck drivers can keep their mind stress-free while away from home for months. Animals, birds and plants are included in the doodle. He explains that making something without thinking is a doodle. Doodle art is the conceptual drawing you do without any resources (scale, etc.) while sitting in a meeting. It is like a memory enhancing exercise. Who lives in the area of Delhi, is constantly working to make the youth proficient in the art of doodle art by organizing workshops in colleges. These days doodle art is being used tremendously in books and advertisements including fashion, T-shirt printing.
Google Doodle - Temporary change of events or achievements The Tricolor of India has been beautifully incorporated in the Google Doodle on Independence Day. Earlier, Google made a doodle on the 100th birth anniversary. A Google Doodle is a special temporary change made by replacing the logo on Google's homepage to commemorate events and achievements of people. Globally, Google and Red Bull are doing the most work to promote doodle art.
Doodling is moving around as the cavemen draw patterns in the sand with a stick. People have always scored points, and points for their own benefit is doodling at its heart. But doodling now has a brand name - 'Zen tangle(r)'. This has created quite a buzz on the internet, so let's look at some of the most talked about issues.
What is the difference between 'doodle' and 'zen tangle'?
The classic definition of a doodle - certainly the way people like to be interpreted - is a drawing done entirely without attention, while the person is otherwise captured.
People express their creativity in many ways. Often with doodling, the detached and relaxed frame of mind will be maintained for a long time, which includes doodle artwork. Free use of mark-making is common, along with simple, repetitive patterns. Artists will draw attention and focus on their work, creating intricate patterns.
The Zen tangle 'inventors' emphasize this focus, and make it a point of difference. Unlike spontaneous doodling, zen tangle doodles are done within fixed formats and according to the prescribed method. The structure, method, and formula use of the Pattern's library are fairly consistent. Art teacher makes a useful comparison between authentic Italian food and a chain restaurant brand on her blog, There's a Dragon in My Art Room. Meanwhile, who reviewed the gentle program, takes the less opportunistic view that is part of the technique and focuses on relaxation.
She writes: "I learned later on that zen tangle and doodling as I attended the zen tangle event over the weekend..... The difference though is that doodling is done out of boredom (especially on the margins in one's class notes) and mindfulness (most of the time, doodles are not what one plans to do) whereas zen tangle patterns are done out of design and mindfulness (you are intentionally stretching something) so that you are focused on making something else can't think about.
It can be assumed that the intentional and formulaic approaches used by Zen tangle are preferable, but the end result is more - often with a polished art look - that they lack the immediacy and signatory qualities of true doodling. An authentic doodle has some qualities in common with surrealist 'automatic' writing and illustration, which sought to release rational control and free the subconscious. Basically, 'mindfulness' is the whole point.
Why is 'Zen tangles' trademarked?
Zen's tangle's mix of doodling and New-Age Zen is an important third ingredient – a contemporary business magician starting with a trade name. Art is difficult to live with, so to some extent, it is understandable that they wanted to create a defensive zone around their thoughts. At this point, only brand names and some slogans are trademarks. The words on their legal page include a list of their trademark words, their 'language' and instructions for promoting the brand.
Once the concern about trademark use is that people who are all doodling easily express themselves artistically, they are now participating in a modern branding practice.
One blogger writes: "For a while, like a few years, I had a habit of filling in strings of lines with patterns and just "going with the flow." A few months ago I realized what I was doing It was actually a form of art! It's called Zen tangle. In fact, this kind of abstract designing is, well, just abstract art or doodling, the venerable art style in its own right. You will also find many examples of this type of pattern creation in textile art and architecture.
Do I Need Instructor Certification?
That you can be a 'certified' Zen tangle instructor has some interesting discussion. The short answer is 'no', but if you want to work within the 'Zen tangle' community, you have to play along. Take a look at this Ask. Do You Really Need a Certified Instructor?
Is zen's tangle art therapy?
There's no question that drawing of any kind, and especially doodling, can be a meditative activity that can be very therapeutic. This is highlighted by Zen's tangle in his literature. However, it is important to understand that Zen's tangle certification is not a certificate in art therapy. Certification as an art therapist usually requires a psychology or counseling degree and experience, experience in the arts, and a master's degree in art therapy. So it pertains specifically to Zen's tangle classes being advertised as 'Zen's tangle - Art Therapy'.
Of particular interest is the 'apparent simplicity' comparison between Zen's tangle and Yoga. Becoming proficient in yoga takes years of practice and certification, again depending on the location and governing body, can take hundreds of hours of supervised practice.
While formally qualified practitioners can actually employ the Zen's tangle Method within their practice, the three-day workshop to become a 'Certified Zen tangle Teacher' or 'CZT' does not make a person any sort of qualified practitioner. Perhaps in some countries calling themselves a therapist, or calling a technique therapy, doesn't involve any legal requirements, but I question the ethics involved here.
So why do people zen tangle?
Despite some questions surrounding the Zen tangle concept, the convenient 'pre-packaged' idea and content suit some people well. They help ease the worry around making art, starting with simple templates to help build up a ready library of patterns for choosing and copying materials.
For some, it can be a wonderful stepping-stone to creativity, especially considering how difficult most of our traditional art teaching methods can be. This photo is similar to craft activities such as scrapbooking, working on the basis of 'Creative Memories (CM)' designs, or spraying with ready-made kits. What risks losing the process, however, is the artist's own, intuitive sense and knowledge of making expressive marks. Zen's tangles have a certain uniformity for a reason. There is no doubt that the zen tangle process, with education in mind along with comfortable mark-making, is calming and rewarding, and for those who enjoy organized systems and are part of a group, the 'Avon Lady Model' is a must. Provides comfortable structure.
I need to doodle Zen's tangle products?
No. You can doodle on any paper and any pen - or even do zen's tangles. For best results, choose a heavy, bleed proof paper and fiber-tip pen, such as Art line Fine Liner. One benefit of choosing Zen's tangle products is that they are convenient with pre-prepared 'tiles' of paper and a selection of pens to be used by demonstrators, so you will get predictable results.
Why so serious?
My criticism of Zen's tangle boils down to the ethical issues with branding and patenting. While they are not patent trolls (patent trolls are about using patents as a legal weapon to extort money), attempting brand and patent doodling is highly questionable. Being a guide to drawing, I regularly get letters from people asking me to sell their latest product – a gadget to help with perspective drawing or a grid system for copying.
But Zen's tangle doesn't have a product — it's trying to turn some people into a product it already has. It's like taking the art of knitting, "Meditate with every stitch. Use this selection of patterns, and this selection of stitches, and use one of these threads." - and saying it's a unique idea that belongs to them, and they'll take you to that court, do you want to make something using that combination and without paying the license fee. This is nonsense. I wanted to write something more balanced, because I have friends who love this system, but in the end, it will be tantamount to promoting Apple and its acquired, unethical patent 'walled garden'. Apple has fans, and so does Zen's tangle, but I'm not one of them. Zen's tangle's patent application means that I will never purchase or endorse its products or activities in any way. Creativity belongs to all people.
