Kids Create - Doodle Bugs! Doodle bugs is about messy fun and fearless creativity — perfect for 5-7 year olds with big imaginations. 🐞 Budding young artists discovering how pictures work while keeping the joy alive. Next term, we’ll be exploring the Principles of Design. Through playful projects and gentle guidance, children will experiment with balance, contrast, emphasis, movement, rhythm, pattern, and unity—learning how these ideas help turn simple shapes and colours into artworks that feel exciting and alive. At this age, children are just beginning to understand how things fit together visually. In our classes, we nurture that curiosity by helping them notice what makes an artwork harmonious, energetic, or eye-catching, and then try it for themselves. They’ll explore how arranging elements with intention can change the mood or meaning of a picture, while still leaving plenty of room for happy accidents and creative surprises. As they create, they’ll be building focus, confidence, and a growing sense of artistic decision-making—skills that stretch far beyond the classroom. Each piece they make will be another small step in learning to see, think, and imagine like a young designer in the making.
