Expressive Doodles - Mixing Journaling With Doodle Art

What you'll learn

Description

Expressive Doodles mixes thoughtful journaling and doodle art to create something calming and beautiful. 
Doodles are simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning and when added to your personal thoughts they become unique, insightful and cathartic.

I believe Doodle art is an underrated art form. It's a fun way of expressing yourself, but it’s also a brilliant way of experimenting and learning to draw. 
The Doodles each person instinctually gravitates to offers insight into their artistic style and innate creativity, conveying parts of their personality not necessarily shown through other art mediums.
I originally created this technique as an art therapy activity. I use it as a way for clients to express all those jumbled feelings. By journaling along the line without space or punctuation, just a free-flow type of journaling, you get a great release. Adding the doodles within the loops brings about calmness and reduced anxiety levels.
The best part is Expressive Doodles can be done at any age and skill level.
