A one-day professional development workshop for advisory teachers, heads of art and design and design and technology
in secondary schools, and other education professionals. It is an excellent opportunity for those working with children and
young people, schools, lifelong learners and community groups to reflect on the role of drawing in professional practice,
in education and in community participation. The purpose of the Drawing: A Tool for Design workshops will be to raise awareness
of the role of drawing and creativity in the design and construction process and its place in built environment education.
There will be opportunities to test out a variety of drawing strategies, to reflect on how drawing is used by professionals,
and to plan how to embed it more firmly in the workplace. The workshop will be an opportunity for you to extend your knowledge
and enhance your skills related to the use of drawing as a medium for learning.
Discussion will also focus on how the Campaign for Drawing can support the work of participants through disseminating case studies on its website.

In autumn 2009, The Campaign for Drawing published a new title in its respected and popular series of Power Drawing educational
books: Drawing: A Tool for Design . This book demonstrate how engineers, architects, landscape designers and others working in
the built environment use drawing in their daily practice: as a means of perception, communication, invention and action.
The book will be of great value in schools and further education colleges to support built environment education, and in
community settings to facilitate participation in the design process. It will also be attractive and useful to students
considering career options in the design and engineering fields.
Each workshop participant will also receive a copy of the Drawing: A Tool for Design book.
