Trip to the DIA and Dark Horse Doodles

This past week our doodlers spent some time in the DIA viewing the exhibitions and sketching. We took some time out of touring the museum to sit down in the Kresge Court and share our "Dark Horse" doodles from the previous week. The group had some amazing drawings as usual!

Upon arriving at the DIA we gave the doodlers a challenge: Find your favorite work of art and create a doodle inspired by it. After touring the museum and sharing our sketches, some students sat and worked on their challenge and others continued viewing the exhibition. We could have spent all day in the DIA!

Doodles are just because...

Sometimes it is good to doodle just because. Maybe you get an idea for a drawing and grab your sketchbook to get it out. Maybe you are waiting for a game or appointment to start and want to have that mindless freedom of putting pen to paper. Perhaps you are in class or in a meeting (because let's be honest, we've all been there) and you find your notes all of a sudden taken over by doodles. Show them off! Our prompts are here to inspire you. But if you get inspired on your own let us know!

This week, student Talia Greenberg, sent in a just because doodle and we are loving it! We want you to be doodlers, so if you have "just because" doodles, send them in. This is open to anyone and everyone. Thank you Talia for being such an inspiration! 

Send your just because doodles to aesshaki@bloomfield.org.

Also, if you missed a past meeting for one of our prompts, send it in at anytime and it will be posted!
