1200 visitors of all ages took part in the Big Draw 2003 launch. Some of the
visitors picked up a free sketchpad and pencil and headed straight to one of
the galleries to draw.
|
|
Others visited the Threatened exhibition and listened to story teller,
Michael Harvey, while drawing interpretations of his story.
|
|
The Welsh cartoon character, Sali Mali, likes to draw and therefore spent her
time with some of the younger children drawing in the galleries.
|
|
|
The cartoon series is made by Siriol Animation and Robert Brown, one of the
animators, came along to spend the afternoon demonstrating the process of
drawing for animation.
|
|
The art galleries came alive with all generations responding to some of the
work on display. The Art Cart was full of inspiring materials for visitors to
use.
|
|
It provided a valuable way to appreciate the paintings and sculpture and
families instigated some interesting conversations about their art work.
|
|
|
Children and adults took their drawings to the art workshop to
develop them further with paint and colour. The work was then glued onto large
cut-out shapes.
|
|
|
|
These activities continued for a further week and a selection of this work was
on display through November.
