Doodling: Add a Little Color

In this little lesson, we'll play with lines and color.

You will need:

- something to draw with (marker, pen, crayon - I recommend something you cannot erase)

- something to draw on (paper, cardboard, whatever you have handy that works with your mark maker!)

- something to color with (marker, color pencil, crayon, watercolor - whatever works for you)

Prepare your space:

- cover your work area

- have several pieces of paper ready to work with

- keep drinking water nearby

- be sure your mark-maker works and your coloring materials are within reach

- music? light? whatever makes it your ideal creative workspace, do that!

The work:

- we will draw one continuous line over our page, crossing over in many places

- we will look at our work and decide what color to add where ... or, don't think about it at all and just start coloring!

Extensions:

- doodle one continuous line in black. then write a word in bubble letters. use color fill in only the shapes within the bubble letters.

- fill some spaces with color, fill some with patterns and designs

- add text to your piece

- incorporate a color lesson (primaries, secondaries, warms, cools, complementaries ...)

Have Fun! Be kind to yourself and each other.
