Drawn to the Opera House
The Campaign for Drawing is a national event taking place annually in October.
It aims to encourage everyone to draw.
The artist’s group WavyBlue ran
Drawn to the Opera House
a free Big Draw event on
Thursday October 9th 2008
at the Boscombe Opera House
Some free materials were provided.
The Campaign for Drawing is inspired by the Victorian artist and writer John Ruskin.
His mission was not to teach how to draw, but how to see.
This historic building will generously be made available by the owner John Butterworth.
