Well, Happy New Year! 2009 and it's gonna be just fine! Doodle Earth 2008 has come and gone, schools have swapped their postcards in the biggest littlest school exchange programme that we know about - with almost military like organisation, but a million times more fun! It's been a blast for us 3 artists, being able to go to so many different schools and meet so many young artists drawing such beautiful and interesting maps and postcards that show us what's important to them in their local world.
Please do read on for pictures, stories and photos from the schools by the artists, and keep a lookin now and again for updates.
Best for now, and for all the fun drawing to do in 2009!
Jenny, (one of the three).

Zoom! Zoom! Doodle Earth Artists!!
Greetings fellow Earth Dwellers! Ever been curious about where you live, and whether others live in a place just like yours? Ever wondered if your school is the coolest, most interesting school on the planet, or if other pupils have a different but 'just as cool' school as you? Are you up for an adventure into a different type of learning, where everybody gets to join in the arty fun?
Val O'Regan, Michelle Letowska and Jenny Soep are the 3 artists who will be travelling around schools in Argyll and Bute to spread drawing fun UP and DOWN and ALL AROUND your classroom.
The project this year is to see how your school is different from other schools in the big ol' county of Argyll and Bute: is your school in the town, in the country, up a tree, down a rabbit hole? How do you get to school - plane, train, car, scooter, bicycle or your mighty springy feet? What do you see on the way? If you were directing someone from your house to the school, what landmarks would help them find their way?
Like Google Earth, we will be zooming in to see where you live, how far away it is from every where else, in particular your exchange school, and look at how your school might be different from them. We'll be playing some fun drawing games that will help us look at 'the bigger picture' and how to 'zoom in' on details, and after all the arty madness you'll be making beautiful postcards to put in a big special sack to send to your exchange school. Then you can wait to see what your exchange school will send to you! Whose special sack of postcards will be the best? Whose postcards will be the most bright, the most colourful, the best souvenir of where you live?
Grab your coloured markers and let's all go drawing mad!
