BRITISH COUNCIL, BENGALURU
presents
BIG DRAW
Drawing workshops for children
The
Big Draw is a drawing event that is run across the UK and in
fifteen other countries, with more than 200,000 people of all ages
joining in 1000+ events. Hundreds of enjoyable drawing activities
connect people of all ages with museums, outdoor spaces,
artists and each other. These events are for those who love to draw, as
well as for those who think they can’t! Since its launch in 2000, The
Big Draw has successfully supported the Campaign for Drawing’s aims by
encouraging everyone to draw. Big Draw events
highlight the power of drawing to help people see, think, invent and
take action. 2014 will see The Big Draw working in partnership with the
Family Arts Festival for a second year to create the largest family arts
festival in the UK.
Story telling through drawing
We
all have an inherent tendency to graphically or pictorially express
ourselves. It is a fundamental human urge that can be
developed by doing; everybody can draw. Through these workshops,
participants explore drawing with other parents and children. They will
explore basic mark making to graphic or pictorial representations
through various mediums and processes, to tell their
stories and express themselves.
