The Art of Google Doodles

Each year, Google sponsors a national competition called Doodle4Google, inviting students from every state and grade level to use their artistic talents and to "think big" to create their own "Google Doodle." The grand prize winner receives a $15,000 college scholarship and will see their design featured on the Google homepage for an entire day.

Students began the project last Thursday by watching a feature article from CBS Sunday Morning, and a time-lapsed video documenting an actual doodle creation. Inspired by seeing work produced by last year's winners, PRP Graphic Arts students were up for the challenge!  After downloading templates from Google's website, students began creating sketches/designs using traditional methods as well as newly acquired skills using Adobe CS5. Students will work on this project for a couple of days before moving on to our next project.
