What is The Big Draw?
The Big Draw Festival is an annual celebration of drawing’s power, with schools from all over the world taking part. Drawing helps pupils understand the world, and evidence shows it’s the most effective tool for learning. It’s a versatile skill that can be integrated into the whole curriculum
“The Big Draw is a superb focus for any school – allowing all subject areas to appreciate the value of drawing and visual literacy and to support the use of transferable skills and knowledge. Drawing is a language that resonates with all subject areas. Drawing is communication that breaks through barriers. And, it helps us speak when words are not enough”.
Susan Coles, (The Big Draw Associate, Cultural Educational Consultant, Artist, school governor, former President of NSEAD).
