My name is Kathleen Thometz and I created Doodle Art & Design in order to give the children in my town art opportunities outside the once-a-week programs at our local elementary schools. While I no longer teach art classes, you can get my Art Project book (Apple Books or Kindle) and visit my YouTube channel which has how-to videos of art projects
Doodle Art & Design was a tiny teaching studio and art gallery in Western Springs, IL. Doodle Art began as a mobile art program at Field Park Elementary School in Western Springs, in 2014. I hosted lunchtime art programs at Forest Hills and Laidlaw as well as classes at the studio.
In addition to teaching art, I am an artist and freelance writer with four children, one husband, and two doodle-dogs.
I have a BA in English Literature from Manhattanville College and a BFA in Sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. I have a working knowledge of fashion, design, building, color theory, drawing, painting, puppetry and wood working.
Thanks for visiting Doodle Art & Design!
