Situation
Few people understand the importance of drawing in everyday life, or feel confident in their ability to draw or to support others to draw. This limits expression, innovation, and learning. The Campaign for Drawing exists to raise the profile of drawing and to promote its use as a tool for learning, thought, creativity, innovation, communication and social and cultural engagement for all: in brief, to get everyone drawing.
Solution
The Big Draw is the Campaign's Flagship event. In 2011 it will provide an opportunity for over 300,000 people of all ages and abilities, many taking part for the first time, to explore ideas and express their creativity. Drawing is a universal language which crosses all boundaries. It unites generations, cultures and people of all abilities.
