Why doodle?
Lots of reasons! Doodles are an immediate way to be creative, expressive and visualise and share ideas. They are a great way to start to get better at drawing. There’s research to show doodling helps us focus on a current situation by keeping us from day-dreaming or not paying attention and improving what we remember. Doodles can help us and others to learn too when we use them to present information visually to improve understanding, make new connections and to help us memorise. Doodling can also help us relax and destress according to scientists who’ve studied its effect on the brain.
Everyone can doodle!
Your doodle can be anything from a few lines and a quick sketch to something more developed - everything counts! It’s not unusual to feel self-conscious about drawing but we can all make marks with a pencil or pen on paper and that’s what the challenge is looking for.
