Doodle Calendars

I am so pleased with the results of the October Doodle Calendars! The feedback that I received from students is that they enjoyed working on them and liked drawing a small image for homework each week (instead of full-page, full-color assignments in previous years). If my young artists are going to improve their skills, they should certainly be drawing a little bit each day. This does not mean they need to be working on giant artworks, but if they are at least doodling a small amount, they will improve their artistic skills over time.

Here are a few of the exceptional Doodle Calendars I received from students:

 I look forward to seeing my students complete more Doodle Calendars in the future. October consisted of a variety of the Elements of Art and Principles of Design for all of the students, but future calendars will be different for each grade level and correspond to the projects and techniques students are practicing. If a student ever loses their Doodle Calendar they must ask for a new one.

Happy doodling!
