How Do You Doodle?• Starting tomorrow you will spend 2 class periods developing

a small doodle on scratch, then you will be given good paper to begin your project.

• You may start in pencil but the finished work will be in pen/sharpie

• Your doodle should fill the entire space given to you.

• Some of the areas should be extremely detailed, other areas can be more spread out

• Allow your mind to wander. Write, draw, scribble while you are thinking.

• Use textures, lines and line weights to create interest.

Summary• Suggestions for your summary:• How do the vocabulary words relate to what

we’ve been doing in class so far?• Do you doodle on your own?• What are ‘elements of art’ and how many are

there? Which ones do we know now?• Describe a doodle you just saw that you liked

best.
