The Big Draw 2010 events go live

Big Draw 2010 events can now be viewed on our website by thousands of people. We work hard to promote Big Draw events across the country. Once you’ve registered you can enter details of your event anytime; but the sooner you do this, the more we can publicise it.

Free Drawing Inspirations DVD

Everyone who registers for the 2010 Big Draw receives a free DVD packed with inspirational films, slide shows and ideas for drawing activities for different audiences. Even if you’re still at the exploratory stage, it’s worth registering as the DVD could help develop your plans. Our new microsite offers a wide range of case studies, including Drawing Inspiration Award winners. Follow their lead, choose your category  and win one of twenty 2010 Awards (worth up to £1000 each).

New Steven Appleby Posters

The Campaign has commissioned top illustrator Steven Appleby to create enticing new poster and flyer templates reflecting this year’s theme Make your Mark on the Future. They can be downloaded from our website, as can our popular Quentin Blake poster and Big Draw logo.

Play Draw and Fold over

Launched by Posy Simmonds at our Awards ceremony two weeks ago, the online drawing game, Draw and Fold Over has already been played by 20,000 people worldwide. Designed for us by Albion to make the Campaign's message global, it combines the feeling of drawing by hand with the social benefits of the Internet. Try it for yourself!

Read all about it!

We're streamlining distribution of the excellent series of 10 Power Drawing books, including two new titles, Drawing: Active Learning (for primary school teachers) and Drawing: A Tool for Design (drawing in design and construction). Details for ordering can be found on our website.  

Daler-Rowney and Cass Art

Cass Art, London’s leading art supplier, has the admirable ambition to ‘fill the town with artists’. Sponsoring The Big Draw furthers this aim, which we hope you will choose to support. Daler-Rowney, the world famous fine art materials manufacturer (established in 1783), is sponsoring The Big Draw to inspire artists of all levels of experience to gather, exchange, and share their creativity. Using our sponsors’ products at your events will encourage them to extend their commitment to our Campaign!
