Doodle Art & Design is a teaching art studio and gallery and retailer of Artwork and Doodle Art merchandise.
Doodle Art & Design is excited to be back again this year offering lunchtime art classes at Field Park Elementary School starting on October 6th.
2nd & 3rd Grades will have class on Tuesdays.
4th & 5th Grades will have class on Wednesdays.
Each week we will introduce your child to a different artist or art movement and a wide variety of materials. While the children eat lunch we show and discuss images of the day's topic and project. We spend the rest of our time working on the project and each child will go home with a finished piece. While the time is short, the children learn to work quickly and efficiently.
Some of the things we explored last year were architecture, designing consumer items, paper art, puppetry, sculpture and weaving. We worked with some fun and crazy materials from balloons and foil to clay and wire. We've yet to repeat a lesson! We get the inspiration for our projects in different ways, such as from an interesting material, from the news, a work of art that caught our interest or an artist or art movement.

On the Doodle Art & Design Facebook page we will only post information about our classes and camps and pictures of our projects. To maintain our students privacy, there will be no photos of children.
Doodle Art & Design's mission is to provide an art appreciation and art making experience using the finest materials and tools, all while having fun!
