THEMES & AWARDS for 2010

The Campaign for Drawing website and publications offer ideas and advice to help make your Big Draw event a success. The themes for 2010 are:

All Change!
Changing places, architecture, art movements, fashions, transformations, animation, climate change and its impact on the human condition.

Voyages & Visions
Consider where communities have come from (making connections with Black History Month?); explore tourists’ and other travellers’ views; celebrate local knowledge and journeys across familiar territory.

Habitats and Habitation
How we live now; compare the man-made and natural, the difference between house and home; engage with endangered species, ecology, buildings and recycling.

Apple Day
Adopt a theme around apples and orchards, harvests and health, and help to celebrate the 21st Apple Day on 21 October.

If none of these inspire your creativity, just invent your own!

By documenting your Big Draw event you are eligible to apply for one of 16 Drawing Inspiration Awards.
