Doodle-ing for a Cause: How Google Uses Art to Raise Awareness for Social Issues

In this digital age, Google has become an integral part of our lives. It is our go-to search engine, helping us find answers to our queries within seconds. But did you know that Google also uses its platform to raise awareness for social issues? Through their innovative Doodles, Google showcases art that not only celebrates important events and individuals but also aims to educate and inspire people on various social causes.

The Evolution of Google Doodles

Google Doodles first appeared in 1998 when Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the co-founders of Google, decided to place a stick figure behind the second “o” in their logo to indicate their attendance at the Burning Man festival. This small creative addition sparked an idea that would eventually lead to the birth of the iconic Google Doodles we see today.

Initially, these doodles were simple drawings or animations meant to commemorate holidays or significant events. However, over time they evolved into interactive experiences that engage users and raise awareness about important social causes. Today, Google collaborates with artists from all over the world to create thought-provoking pieces that shed light on critical issues.

Using Art as a Catalyst for Change

Art has always been a powerful medium for expressing emotions and raising awareness. By incorporating art into their search engine homepage through Doodles, Google effectively reaches millions of people daily and exposes them to different social issues. Each Doodle is carefully designed with elements that convey messages related to a particular cause.

For example, during Pride Month, Google often includes rainbow-themed Doodles celebrating LGBTQ+ rights and diversity. These colorful illustrations serve as reminders of equality and inclusivity while encouraging users to support the cause. Similarly, during environmental campaigns like Earth Day or World Wildlife Day, Google showcases nature-inspired artwork that promotes sustainability and conservation efforts.

Educating Through Doodles

Google Doodles not only raise awareness but also educate users about lesser-known historical events, influential figures, and cultural traditions. By featuring important milestones and achievements of individuals from diverse backgrounds, Google aims to foster inclusivity and promote cultural understanding.

For instance, on International Women’s Day, Google often features Doodles that highlight the accomplishments of remarkable women throughout history. These Doodles serve as educational tools that inspire both men and women to challenge gender stereotypes and work towards gender equality.

Inspiring Creativity and Social Responsibility

Google’s Doodles not only serve as a means to raise awareness but also inspire creativity among users. By showcasing art that tackles social issues head-on, Google encourages individuals to think critically about these topics and find their own unique ways to contribute positively.

Moreover, Google actively involves the global community in its Doodle initiatives through contests like “Doodle for Google.” This annual competition invites students from different age groups to design their own Doodle based on a given theme. By engaging young minds in creative thinking and social responsibility, Google nurtures a generation of individuals who are aware of the world’s challenges and empowered to make a difference.

Conclusion:

Through its innovative use of art on its search engine homepage, Google has successfully raised awareness for various social causes while educating and inspiring millions worldwide. The evolution of Google Doodles demonstrates how a small creative addition can grow into an influential platform for positive change. So next time you see a doodle in Google’s logo, take a moment to appreciate the artwork behind it and reflect on the important message it conveys.

INTRODUCTION

Google Drawings is such a fun and useful tool, it deserves it’s very own lesson. It’s an oft overlooked tool within the Google Drive suite of tools. This easy to use tool will help you & your students create posters, graphic organizers , infographics , blog post graphics, NASA planet posters , sticky notes and so much more.

If you’ve used any of the drawing tools in Google Slides (insert line, shapes, text boxes, etc.), you’ve already touched on some of the Google Drawing features. Google Drawings takes it up a notch with more graphics features. Anything you create in Drawings can be used in other Google apps and many other places as well.

Tony Vincent created a handy image comparing the Drawings and Slides.

[…] This is just a super, awesome resource that I’d like to remember for future use, so I’m linking it here.  I had so much fun with AutoDraw.  As a person who claims that even her stick figure drawings look bad, this was confirmed when AutoDraw had no idea what I was intending to draw on my third image!  (Though it did get my first image correct!)  I cannot wait to share what I have learned in this lesson on Google Drawings with my teachers and students.  I have so many new ideas of how I will use this in place of how I have been using Google Slides.  I will definitely be going back to this lesson in the future!

Tips and Tricks

  • Insert a Google Drawing into a Google Doc: Select Drawing from the Insert menu in a Doc. Choose New or From Drive.
  • Ctrl D (PC) Command D (Mac) duplicates an object
  • Shapes: yellow diamonds allow you to alter the shape, blue boxes are used to adjust the shape and the blue circle is used to rotate the shape.
  • To change the background from the dotted grid to any color right-click, select Background and choose your color.
  • To change the order of the objects on your canvas, right-click on the object and select Order.
  • To align objects on your canvas, select the objects you want to align, right-click and choose Align Horizontally or Align Vertically.
  • To select multiple objects, drag across them with your cursor or use Shift and click or Control and click.
  • When sharing activities (templates) with others, make them View Only,
  • Replace Edit with Copy in the URL of the shared template to force the user to Make a Copy.
  • Text can be added inside of a shape without having to create a text box.
  • After you have completed a Google Drawing, go to File and select Download to access saving options.
  • Use the File menu to download your Drawing as a PNG because it will maintain transparency. Tip: PNG files (not JPEG) maintain transparency if you have that.

Most of the time you will want to use PNG images. These images do not have a background. When searching Google Images or any other site for images, add PNG to your search and it should filter out all of the pictures that have backgrounds.

Online Tools for Teaching & Learning

Designed by students in educ 390d, 592a, & 692d at the university of massachusetts amherst, google drawings.

Google Drawings   is a virtual board that allows users to create content by drawing, pasting images, linking videos and websites, and inserting text, shapes, tables, and other content onto a page in Google Drive.  Users can create flow charts, diagrams, concept maps, visual storyboards, original art and more.  This app is available free of charge to anyone with a Google account.  Users can collaboratively work on the same Drawing at the same time. This means students can collaborate on the same drawing from different computers at different locations. Drawings can be shared via a link or embedded into a webpage (by selecting “Publish to the web” in the file menu) .  Collaborators can edit and leave comments on the document.  If you are looking for a tool to help engage students and foster collaboration and creativity, this is a great tool for students to visually construct and demonstrate their knowledge.

Tool Snapshot

Impact on Student Learning:  Because of its design students are able to collaborate, create, communicate, and engage in learning.  What is particularly great about this app is that it allows students to work on the same document at the same time from different locations.  They can edit, add, remove, and comment on content simultaneously.  This app really has the ability to place students back at the center of their own learning.

Ease of Use:  This app is incredibly intuitive, I was able to navigate around it and produce the products that I wanted with no prior introduction to the app via tutorial or help desk. This app can be accessed through any browser and on any device with internet access, but it is much easier to edit the drawings on tablets and computers because of the larger screen.  It is free and easy to access for anyone with a google account, which is a major plus in my book.

Accessibility:  This is app is very accessible for screen readers and braille displays, Google provides several pages of step-by-step directions to enable these adaptations in Google drawings.

Class Size:  This app doesn’t have a set number of individuals who can use it, and it is free.  Honestly, depending on your particular project there really isn’t a size limit for this app, although I probably wouldn’t have 400 people editing one document.

Privacy:  This is really the only downside to Google drawings that I can find.  Google does not break down exactly what information they collect from which apps, but their overall privacy policy and terms of use is enough to give one pause when deciding whether or not to use this app.  They collect data from you once you have an account. Google also assures users the content in Google is their own, but later states that the content also belongs to Google which certainly makes for a bit of copyright confusion in my opinion. I will note that if you are using Google Drawings through Google Apps for Education the privacy policy is more protective for students.

Google Drawings Overview Video

***See video transcript here ***

Google Drawings & the SAMR Model

  • Substitution: Students use Google Drawings to produce a digital poster (instead of drawing a poster).
  • Augmentation:  Students collaborate on the same digital poster at the same time in class or in their individual homes. Each individual’s work is visible to the teacher through the revision history.
  • Modification:  Students can collaboratively create interactive visual displays with pictures, moveable objects, and clickable links that bring you straight to a video or web resource on which students can provide real-time comments and feedback.
  • Redefinition:  Students and teachers can provide critiques to other groups from anywhere in the world.

Learning Activities

Math:  Have students present statistical information in graphical displays and link outside sources to their page.  Or use Drawings for geometry lessons, have students manipulate the shapes to determine what characteristics remain constant for each shape and which ones can change (e.g. a rectangle vs. a parallelogram vs. a trapezoid).

Science :  Have a group of students research and compile information on a particular topic, including images, graphs, videos, websites, and text and present it to the class.  Ask the audience, community members, or parents to leave questions on the page for the student presenters to answer.

English/Language Arts: Have your whole class deconstruct a character, scene, or book together by producing a visual storyboard or comic strip with images, and linked videos, text, and other resources explaining historical relevance, imagery, character development, etc… that can be shared with the class at the end of the lesson.

Social Studies: Have students create an interactive timeline compiling images, videos, text and other resources explaining how events contributed to one another and progressed over time. Students could also annotate an image deconstructing how different aspects of the image illustrate different themes in that time period.

Other:  Create a visual board about a field trip or vacation.  Have students prepare a drawing to introduce themselves to the class at the beginning of the year.  Create a visual organizer before writing a paper and have other students provide comments and feedback.  Google drawings is a great tool to create and alter graphic art.
