‘The Big Draw’ is the world’s biggest celebration of drawing! This event runs in over 20 different countries across the globe, by the charity ‘The Campaign for Drawing’. The Campaign sees drawing as a basic human skill useful in all walks of life.
The long term ambition of this charity is to change the way drawing is perceived by educationalists and the public. This effort has won support from leading practitioners in the creative industries as well as in art, architecture and design colleges; signalling a realisation that drawing is fundamental to the training of students in these disciplines.
For some time, the event is only known to take part in neighbouring counties, and never in Malaysia. But now, the event will make its debut in Malaysia! Thus, the first ‘Big Draw’ event to take place in Malaysia will be hosted by Sri KDU.
The event which will be held in KDU will be showcasing many ways for one to get creative with a line (this year’s theme is ‘In Lines.’). You can expect to get creative drawing with water pistols, sticks, lights, shadows, food, pencils, string and even nails.
Sri KDU will be donating materials from the event to four local charities chosen by the students. These include an orphanage, a soup kitchen, an old folk’s home and an animal shelter.
The first 200 people to arrive on the day will receive goodies from sponsors including a free t-shirt and glow stick.
Come and join in on the fun!
