The Big Draw is a national event run by The Campaign for Drawing. The Leventhorpe art department will be holding an event this year as part of the national scheme.
In preparation we are getting the creative juices flowing by using the theme of It's Our World as our starting point across all year groups this term. Huge still life displays will be taking over the art rooms. The exciting task of sourcing, collecting and arranging objects for three art class rooms has already begun.
So how could this theme be interpreted? The following questions may provide some ideas for objects to draw and areas to investigate.
What objects and possessions do we have to shape our world?
How do we all view our environment?
How does this affect us?
Who creates the environment in which we live and work?
How do artists reflect or change the world around them?
What may happen to our world if we don't look after it?
During a windy beach walk this landscape caught my imagination and touches on some of these questions.
