The Courtauld is delighted to be taking part in The Big Draw Festival! The 2024 Festival theme #DrawinginMotion is a celebration of the dynamic and ever-changing nature of drawing. Innately relevant to The Courtauld, this theme invites people from all corners of the globe to explore how the act of drawing can capture the essence of movement, energy, and life. Moving beyond the notion of drawing as a static art form, ‘Drawing in Motion’ emphasises the fluidity and vibrancy of the creative process, showcasing how lines, shapes, and forms can convey movement and bring art to life.
Join us in The Courtauld Gallery best known for impressionist paintings, fleeting impressions of movement, for a day of creativity, inspiration and learning. Take part in our movement themed activity trail and curate your own drawing through the gallery spaces. From Degas to architecture the ideas are designed for everyone but younger children may need support.
The event will also grant rare back of house access to our prints and drawings study room between 14.00 and 15.00. In this special Open House, attendees will be able to get up close to rarely displayed works on paper and hear from our experts on the techniques, materials and histories of these objects. This event is suitable for all ages and all materials will be supplied!
Book your ticket to The Courtauld Gallery on 30th October, 10:00 – 15.00 and be part of The World’s Biggest community of drawing enthusiasts!
