PICTURES SPEAK LOUDEST:
THE BIG DRAW
The Big Draw celebrates drawing as a universal language of expression, creativity, and learning and serves as a fundraiser for multiple charities. The event aims to promote visual literacy and encourage people of all ages to engage in drawing, regardless of their skill level. It serves as a platform to highlight the importance of art in education, culture, and society.
The Big Draw, organized by the charity The Big Draw (formerly known as The Campaign for Drawing), originated in the United Kingdom in 2000. It was conceived to foster a greater appreciation for the arts and encourage more people to experience the joy and benefits of drawing. Since its inception, The Big Draw has grown into a global phenomenon, with participants from over 25 countries participating each year.
Participation in The Big Draw is not limited to a single format. There are several ways a person can get involved, each offering a unique experience:
—Joining Events: Individuals can attend organized events, workshops, and drawing sessions hosted by schools, museums, galleries, and community groups usually listed on The Big Draw's official website.
—Hosting an Event: People are encouraged to organize their drawing events, whether small gatherings with friends, community-wide activities, or more significant public events. Organizers can register their events on The Big Draw's website to become part of the official program.
—Online Participation: With the rise of digital platforms, participants can also engage in The Big Draw virtually. Many events offer online drawing sessions, tutorials, and social media challenges that allow people to share their creations with a global audience.
—Schools and Educational Institutions: Schools often participate by integrating drawing activities into their curriculum during The Big Draw, encouraging students to explore creative expression.
The Big Draw typically takes place in October, a time when the spirit of creativity is in the air. However, events and activities may occur throughout the year, making it a flexible and accessible celebration of drawing that anyone can join whenever it suits them best.
