About The Doodle Series

Doodle and his zany friends feature traditional art lessons in a highly energetic and entertaining environment. As you gain insights from Doodle and his friends, you'll see art in a whole new light.
Overview:
Doodle is a unique approach to the traditional art class. As the world's first 3-D animated art teacher, Doodle shares the skills and techniques necessary for a grounding in the arts, and his funny style appeals to the audience being introduced to art for the first time. Doodle teaches fundamental art concepts, vocabulary, techniques and art history in a way that is fresh and unassuming. During a wacky adventure in Doodle's studio, students forget any fears and apprehensions they may have about their drawing abilities, because Doodle and his friends have the power to make viewers realize their own potential. Doodle believes that every one of his students, no matter the age, has the ability to draw better, "see" better.
Details:
Kids just love to draw, and Doodle makes learning even more enjoyable. Each lesson is approximately 15 minutes in length. Teacher Guides are available for each lesson to further strengthen the creative and learning process. Based on the National Standards for Arts Education, this series is best suited for students from 1st grade through 8th grade.
About The Creator:
Jon Knowles is the art director and the co-founder of Fly By Night Productions, Inc. His passion for the arts comes naturally since his mother was a high school art teacher. He followed her steps and taught first through twelfth grade art in a private school for three years. He later opened his own art school called The Studio, and taught people of all ages how to draw, paint and create 3-D computer animations. While teaching at The Studio, he stressed to his students the importance of creative thought and desired to see them involve themselves in various forms of art. It is this passion for sharing his art knowledge that led him to conceive and design Doodle.
