A scribble or a drawing Machine is "a motorized contraption that moves in unusual ways and leaves a mark to trace its path". Something interesting about these machines is that they can easily be made from simple, everyday materials and anyone has the ability to make one. The idea of a scribble machine is not just about the marks that can be made but also the process of making it. Figuring out how the machine works to create specific marks requires experimentation and an open mind. It also allows for people to learn the general set up of an electric current and creating a motor from that set up.
Scribbling machines can range from relatively simple designs…
… to more elaborate and complex ones.
Scribble machines of all variations can be created as tools of experimentation and creating pieces of fine art. Students are able to learn the dynamics of how different components come together to create their very own personalized scribble machines. It also involves a lot of trial and error in figuring out where to place the mark making objects and the motor. Every little detail can make all the difference in the making of the machine and this kind of project creates an experimental and learning experience.
