Today's Project: Let's look at some drawings by artist Sheila Arthurs. Ms. Arthurs lives and works in the United Kingdom. She calls her drawings "doodles" and makes beautiful illustrations of all different types of creatures. Her doodles often start with one swirling line. She uses detailed and careful coloring to complete her artwork. Here are some of Ms. Arthurs' drawings. Look closely to spot all the creatures! These next drawings are similar, but they are the work of a different artist. His name is Chris Piascik. His doodles are brightly colored and are often of funny creatures! Now it's your turn to draw: Start by making one long swirly line on your paper. The line should swirl around and cross over itself, making lots of interesting shapes and spaces. Next, turn each space into a drawing of something! You can choose what to draw. You might want to have a theme- for example, all your drawings might be different kinds of animals. Or all different kinds of food. Or alien creatures. Or an underwater scene. Or types of vehicles. You are the artist, you decide! Color your squiggle doodles neatly with color sticks, markers, or colored pencils. Please be responsible with our supplies! (There may be some materials that are "off-limits" today-- just use what is available.) You can take your drawings home with you today. Have fun creating! If you need more ideas: Here are some squiggle doodles made by other students. (Remember not to copy the work of other artists-- just use their ideas to get you started!) Finishing Up:
After clean-up is complete, enjoy this video of an artist who REALLY takes doodling to the extreme!! Extra Resources: Music to play while students have silent work time: A read-aloud book to fill time if students finish early:
