Doodles Academy

Doodles Academy uses curriculum to create change. Making art more accessible.

Our Vision is that every child receives a holistic arts education, irrespective of school budget, zip code, or student demographics. We do this with a digital inventory of comprehensive, easy-to-use art lessons for schools, classrooms, teachers and students. Doodles works to eliminate the barriers that too many teachers have in providing a high-quality arts education to their students. By creating

an inventory of thoughtful and engaging art lessons, teachers assemble their curriculum-choosing the projects and activities they know are best for their students- and Doodles does the details.

Classes started this week and our young artists are already diving deep!

In today’s lesson, we explored the difference between an anatomical heart and a symbolic heart. Each student picked three symbols meaningful to them and created collage hearts that show what their heart feels like.

💖 Hannah, 1st grade, filled hers with her cat, family, a bandaid because she loves to help, and lots of pink because her heart feels “cool.”

🌍 Deborah, 3rd grade fills her with family, religion and the whole world!

There’s still time to join the fun: Thursday Art Club starts this week! 🎨 Sign up through the link in bio.

At Doodles, kids don’t just make art — they *discover* it.

🎨 Two ways to create this fall at .boutique:
✨ **Mondays** = Structured, story-based projects
✨ **Thursdays** = Open studio art club with guided prompts

Both are taught by Ann Arbor moms (that’s us 👋) who believe kids deserve real materials, meaningful projects, and space to express themselves — without the pressure of grades or perfection.

Back to school shouldn’t mean back to busywork.

📚 At Doodles, we believe kids need more than worksheets they need room to explore, express, and *create*.

Doodles isn’t just an art class.

It’s a creative outlet, a confidence builder, and a place where kids can be themselves no grades, no pressure, just imagination.

✨ Our fall classes are taught by local AAPS moms, held at a mom-owned boutique, and designed with care.
