Celebrate Big Draw at The Courtauld this half-term. Collect pencils, paper and drawing ideas from our Learning team in the Entrance Hall. Use our Family Backpacks or Animals! Trail for inspiration.

The Big Draw Festival is the world’s biggest celebration of drawing and it takes place across the globe every year from 1-31 October.
Since its launch in 2000, The Big Draw Festival has championed drawing as a universal language and a powerful tool for learning, self-expression, and innovation.
