Engaging the School and Community in Drawing. This workshop will provide teachers with strategies that will build confidence in drawing skills for themselves and their students. We will start with our local buildings and the lines that surround us. We will explore and develop different strategies that encourage students and our community to come together through drawing. We will take one small line, one small image or one small drawing and make it into something big, bold and very “Zartarty.” The ideas that we explore can be used in the class, with the whole school or the whole community. Ideas that can be part of the Big Draw or part of your own schools celebrations, or just a wonderful unit to develop with your students.

The Big Draw event aims to get everyone drawing. This workshop is full of drawing ideas inspired by nature. We will begin with making drawing fun, using easy interesting starting points that encourage people to draw and build drawing skills for all age levels.  Some activities will be full of bright colours, others purely black and white. A variety of display techniques will be used to show off our workshop drawings and give participants big ideas for their schools involvement in the Big Draw.

Come and spend the day exploring and experimenting with a variety of textile techniques – printing, painting, dyeing and embroidery. Once some lovely and amazing fabrics have been created participants will create an artwork by joining or layering their materials. Beads, wire, and buttons will be used to embellish artworks. Bring anything you might like to include – sticks from your garden, shells, seedpods – anything you have an affinity with. It will be possible to adapt the techniques and their applications to cater for students from levels 1–5.
