Students With Doodles

Earlier in the year Nadia, Angus and I went to the Picasso exhibition and I can't remember quite how the idea formed, or who ought to receive the credit, but we came up with a wonderful concept ... Many of Picasso's sketches looked not too dissimilar from some of the doodles that we had been doing in our more boring classes. Now, I'm no art critic - I suppose his were quite a bit better than ours, but we certainly did have some talented artists in our course, and also just some bored doodlers, like myself.

Well, we decided that this talent should be show-cased in the form of an exhibit entitled "Students with Doodles". I know there's some good work out there. I've sat next to many a talented artist in the last year - I think Professional Issues and Practice tended to produce the best work myself! So don't throw those old tatty notes out - contribute to the gallery! You may remain anonymous if you wish - here's a couple to start us off. I'll add some more when I can get myself to a scanner.










If you wish to provide a doodle for the gallery, you can either give it to me when we next see each other or scan it and email it to: jodi_kok@hotmail.com
You may also give your doodle a title, and, if you like, specify the class it was created in. In this way, the gallery will also serve as a survey to determine the most boring class of the grad dip. Any bets?

P.S. Thanks for the emails and comments people left. It was wonderful to hear from so many of you. I've been a bit slack with the whole blog thing of late as it has been far too hot to move, let alone think. But the weather seems to be taking a nice stormy turn just about now.

Profession Issues and Practices was definitely the best 'doodle' motivator. As far as I can remember Nadia can take credit for the name 'SWD' which is just about the best thing about the project. Look forward to seeing it take on a life of its own, maybe even take over the world (is that asking too much?)

To think this all stemmed from an untalented hack like Picasso.

Jodi, if you had a solo exhibition, you could call it
'Kok-a-doodle-do'

Love the drawings by the way.

Love your work!

I'll find some of mine later on. Professional issues definitely the winner for 'doodle' motivation.

80% attendance is required what a gyp.
