Todd uses videos for school. They are very good, but sometimes, especially with his art class, we just watch the art project and don't actually do it. I'm ok with this because most of the art projects are more craft-y than art-y. And every year the boys take art classes at the Art School for Children at UHCL. Those classes are so much better than anything we learn on the video.
However, last week's art lesson was about doodle art. It was such a fun idea that we needed to try it. Todd has water color pencils and water color paper
( Thank you Uncle Chris and Aunt Johanna for the neat Christmas present!)
We took turns and experimented with several ideas and ended up with this doodle art.
Doodle art is easy. You can do it with a pencil and crayons, if that's what you have. Just doodle out a shape or you can doodle out some loops and swirls if you don't care to have a particular shape. Then you color in different parts of the doodle different colors. We used the water color pencils and after we got done coloring we painted our doodle art.

T for Todd.
We like them so well that they are going in frames and on the wall.
Awesome! What a great idea!
