Global Doodle Gems

The first Volume of the Amazing Collaborated Coloring book is ready and will hopefully be published soon! I can't wait to share this book with you guys! There are artists from all over the world who have come together to put these books together and they are coming together beautifully!

To have such a variety of styles and countries represented is very special and I'm proud to be a part of something so global!

If you would like to stay up-to-date on how the book is coming along as well as the future volumes, please join here! Also, you can add your own drawing into a photo album for a charity book! The top 100 liked photos in the album will make it into the book! :)

Zentangle Agamographs

Have you heard of an Agamograph? Chances are you have seen one but didn't know what it was called! :) LOL This awesome art work has two pictures that have been spliced together so that as a person walks by the see one picture and then it morphs into a new picture due to the accordion folds of the paper. Way cool!

So for memorial day we decided to make one from this awesome seller on teacherspayteachers.com
Memorial Day Agamographs

So then I was inspired to create my own template and have the students create some art-inspired ones. I gave them 4 blank sheets that were divided into strips by black lines. On the first 2 they had to draw and color two completely different pictures. Some chose objects like trucks and mountains while others went into geometric designs etc... Once both pictures were drawn and colored, they would cut off the first strip of picture one and glue it to the first strip of the third blank sheet. Then they would cut the first strip of picture two and glue it onto the next strip and so on until 2 full sheets have been filled with spliced strips.

We used the directions learned from the Memorial Day Agamograph to create our zentangle/art version. They turned out really good!

Looking for a fun newsletter to give your kids a zentangle experience each week or maybe each month? Each newsletter provides new pattern step-outs, ideas, and more.

Print front and back and you have a fun newsletter for your students to enjoy!!


Click here to purchase Issue #1!!
In issue one students learn the basic set up for zentangle tiles, basic vocabulary that goes with the discipline, how to shade, task for practicing patterns, a step-out (step by step instructions for a pattern) that they can glue into their journal, and more!

Can be used from Kinder up to 12th but the actual booklet would need an independent reader to read on their own. But you could definitely walk the younger kids through it and let them try the more basic concepts.

In issue two students receive a student-created work of art (send in theirs for their chance in a future issue!), how to create the pattern crevice, another pattern step-out, how to make a dew drop, and tangled hand activity.

Can be used from Kinder up to 12th but the actual booklet would need an independent reader to read on their own. But you could definitely walk the younger kids through it and let them try the more basic concepts.
