RESOURCES

This year all resource materials are available on our website so that you can always find them.

The information, suggestions and advice provided are gathered from the last eight years of Big Draw activities, the Drawing Attractions programme (2004-6) for heritage sites and the Power Drawing education programme. This guidance is intended primarily for people who wish to make use of drawing as a tool for learning, interpretation and participation, but it is also useful for anyone developing drawing activities as part of their regular work.
