An annual program of more than 1000 events and organizations that shows drawing is the perfect medium for observation, self-expression and fun. Wide-ranging events and themes for all ages span art and science.. The 2008 events in October focus on science, and will be based at UCL.

"The Big Draw" proves that drawing can be an enjoyable public activity as well as a private passion. It is inspired by the Victorian artist and writer, John Ruskin. His mission was not to teach people how to draw, but how to see. An educational charity, the Campaign demonstrates that drawing is a life skill: an essential tool for thinking, inventing and communicating. Its publications for teachers and other educators provide evidence that drawing supports formal and informal learning.
