Welcome to the Doodlebug Pages: Art and Craft Projects to Help You Draw, Paint and Create.
|
Doodlebug Projects are complete lessons in themselves and accessible to
anyone with basic web site navigation skills. Teachers are welcome to copy
and paste images from the Doodlebug pages for use in Power Points or other
presentations. Please email richard@doodles4schools.com for any further
information or with suggestions for projects you would like to see included.
The language used in Doodlebug Projects is UK English and the schemes are
primarily but not exclusively intended to support Curriculum work in UK Key
Stages 1 and 2. Many individual words and phrases link directly to vocabulary
pages which explain them in text and, where possible, images.
Doodlebug Projects so far include:
How to Draw Houses (Four modules) (UK KS1 and 2),
How to Draw People (Two modules, third underway)(UK KS1 and 2)
Composition (Three modules; basic composition, symmetry, the rule of
thirds) (UK KS2).
How to Draw Trees. (One module) (UK KS1 and 2)
Many more projects are underway.
