It is now widely acknowledged that there is a positive psychological effect of doodling on mind. Doodling a smiling face, hearts, eyes, stars, names, sun and flowers reflect your feeling at that time and hold a meaning.

The term ‘doodle’ as a form of art is suspected to have emerged in the mid 1920’s. The oldest doodle to be found was done by a caveman on a rock 4500 years ago. No strict timeline can be put on how it started. However, this art form has evolved in a spectacular manner, which could not be fathomed early on. ‘Doodle’ as a word, first appeared in English, to mean fool or simpleton. The source of this form of self-taught art was thought to be the work of children, people who had lost their sanity, and irresponsible adults. Combining child-like doodles with expressive illustrations, they show how doodling can be used to create beautiful and arresting designs.Įach of Starchild’s pieces tells a different story and can be interpreted in hundreds of ways.ĭoodles had been largely labelled as automatic, mechanical, and unconscious hence considered to be an art form which originated from creativity that was adulterated with lack of education in the field of art or any professional training thereof.
It can be defined as a creative method of hand-illustration, something which is done to unplug from the electronic world. Doodle art is a serious business for many – as these stunning examples prove. Actually, it may be a sweet and fun method of expression – but that doesn’t take away from its inherent value as an art-form.
Since everyone can do it, it’s often underrated as an art form.
The point to contemplate is – what separates this doodling-as-habit from actual Doodle Art?ĭoodling is like instant noodles – an instant method of gratification. Be it while having telephonic conversations, in classrooms, office post its or as toddler art.
But is that true? What exactly is doodling all about?Īn inherent tendency of human beings, given a pen and paper, is to start doodling.
