Editors Note: This workshop took place on the 19th of March in collaboration with Budweiser Studios at the #HGStreet Festival.
This a Budweiser Studios x #HGACADEMY initiative. For the longest time, mainstream society has been deemed doodling as “drawing or scribbling aimlessly”. They could not be more wrong. Think of all the million-dollar ideas that were scribbled on a napkin. Or, think of how doodling on a notebook laid the foundation for some fantastic artwork ideas when you were sitting in a boring classroom. Researchers have found that doodling has the capacity to improve memory, focus, and cognition. Today, doodling has evolved to be an alternative art form practiced by many. It helps express artistically what mere words cannot.
If you are into the art of doodling and looking for inspiration, you are in for a treat at the #HGStreet Festival as it will play host to multidisciplinary visual artist Santanu Hazarika, who will conduct a workshop on the art of doodling.
