Doodle for Google is an annual contest that spans the entire country. Each year, students are given a challenge, to illustrate a theme within the letters of the Google logo itself. This year's theme is "If I Could Do Anything, I Would..." So think a little bit about your dreams and ambitions for the world, and create a design that modifies the Google logo to illustrate them!There's a class link to the Doodle for Google website that explains the rules and shows winners from previous years!
I would like everyone to test their problem-solving and design skills with this assignment. Visit the website to get ideas, and think about how you'd like to solve this problem. Here's what I will be looking for:
1) Brainstorm at least 3 simple ideas first on a page in your sketchbook before you decide on one idea. The theme is very open to interpretation, so think carefully about how it relates to you personally before you begin to sketch.
2) Using one entire page in your sketchbook, create a final version of your drawing in pencil. You can download a large copy of Google's logo at the contest link for a reference. Substitute meaningful pictures for letters, and transform the logo into a picture that illustrates your idea.
3) Use colored pencil, markers, or other art materials to add color to your design, but do so neatly! Remember to use Google's color scheme. Add black outline to make your design stand out against the white background.
4) Check out the hints and tips from the original Google doodler, Dennis Hwang, recommends for strengthening your design!
I will grade this assignments based upon: How well you follow the directions, how well you integrate your idea and design into the original logo, how well you use your materials, and the amount of time and investment you put into it. Good luck!
