How do you doodle?

The Falling Sand Game, originally from this weblog, is a much-blogged example of art play - a kind of virtual cousin of Spin Art, Etch-a-Sketch, and Lite Brite.

It's more like computer-enhanced doodling than anything recognizable as art, though, as with all doodling, it leads inexorably to playful creativity and, inevitably, to some genuinely art-like creations.

For most of us, doodling is the last remnant of our lives as artists. Being too young to know better, or care, we painted and drew and sculpted until our parents ran out of refrigerator-door-room. Today, thanks to the playfulness of people who bring us new tools like The Falling Sand Game, we find yet another invitation to be the artists we always were.



Thanks Presurfer, et. al., for the find.
