GREAT DOODLE ART

I love a great doodle!

Not only do I love doing them, I’m fascinated by other people’s too.

Do you find yourself on the phone, pen in hand making random shapes and images on scraps of paper?

Do you find yourself making the same marks or symbols?

Well, that’s doodling and that makes you a doodler!

To me this is proof that there’s an artist inside all of us.

DOODLES FOR THERAPY ANYONE?

Let’s say you’re blocked creatively speaking.

Whether you’re a writer, artist, musician or photographer, making doodles can be a great way to get those creative juices flowing again.

The simple act of putting pen to paper making random marks while you drift around in your head space can become a great source of inspiration.

It’s also a great way to relax. You’re not trying to make a pretty picture; you’re just taking a rest from thinking too much.

I don’t know about you, but that sounds therapeutic to me!

IS A DOODLE ART?

Some doodles turn out quite beautifully. A great doodle is pleasing to the eye.

These random symbols and marks can evolve into intricate patterns and designs. If the doodle appeals to you, in my opinion, it is art.

But then again, who cares?

Doodling feels good while you’re doing it and that’s more important.

NATIONAL DOODLE DAY

Friday, March 02, 2012

They’ve been doing this since 2004 and have raised over £200,000 (British Pounds) and that money supports Epilepsy Action as well as the Neurofibromatosis Association.

I have a young niece whose life has been very much affected by epilepsy. As an artist, I think the way in which Epilepsy Action is doing their fund raising activity is nothing short of brilliant! What a fun and clever way of bringing awareness to this awful condition.

They simply invite individuals, schools, and companies to create doodles and then submit them to Epilepsy Action with a suggested donation of £1 for each doodle. You can mail them in or send them by e-mail.

Rather than me go on and on why not see for yourself what a great doodle and a great cause can do for you and for someone else!

Love to doodle? Want to share your doodles and look at other doodle art?

Why not share your doodles for everyone to see? It's really easy!
