About The Big Draw Festival 2023
The Big Draw Festival is a worldwide celebration of drawing! Promoting the universal language of drawing as a tool for learning, expression, and invention.
The Festival is made up of a collection of thousands of creative events, activities, and workshops across the globe run by organisations big and small just like New Directions College!
This year, the Big Draw Festival #DrawingwithSenses changes the focus from external to internal, exploring the way we personally process the world and internalise our experiences through our senses. This is a great year to look at the 5 basic senses: Touch, Sight, Sound, Taste and Smell and experiment with these and those you are less familiar with to transpose your experiences into creative work and drawings in 2023. Why not join in and be part of The World’s Biggest community of drawing enthusiasts!
We can’t wait to see you on the 23rd and 24th October 2023!
