FW: Incredible Doodle Portraits

don — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 00:17:29 +0000

Functional doodling, this I like. From afar, Jason Sho Green’s ballpoint pen portraits could look like any other portrait you’ve ever seen. But come a little closer and you’ll notice that some of the dark areas are actually made up of drawings of people, creatures, animals and more. Like magnificent modern-day mosaics, they’re filled with such hidden surprises, one could literally look at them [...]

FW: Doodling may draw students into science

More nice things being said about the utility of doodling: Research shows that illustrating concepts develops creative reasoning skills. The most striking thing was the effort that students would apply to learning about science when they read and then drew what they could understand from the text, and how much enjoyment they derived from doing this. Back in the late 30s/early 40s, the Nuns would beat [...]

Here’s a cute idea: a make-your-own music visualizer. Doodleizer.com is a Flash-based (tool? toy? toyl?) that takes whatever doodles and scribbles you make and “animates” them to a song you select.

There is no such thing as a mindless doodle. The act of doodling is the mind’s attempt to engage before succumbing to mindlessness. Doodling serves a myriad of functions that result in thinking, albeit in disguise.

75 Way to Draw More (DIY booklette)

In the true spirit of blogging (AKA laziness), I have taken the whole cloth of this post from the very excellent Drawn.ca and “re-contextualized” it here as new content (as the gangbangers fire off gunshots in the near-distance; How poetic — or is it prosaic?), along with a pic of the assembly instructions: “Michael Nobbs [...]
