Quick on the Draw

11 October 2008 - 4 January 2009

Designed to appeal to all age groups, this activity packed exhibition
shows how people in many walks of life use drawing as an essential
part of their work.

We learn to draw from an early age, helping us think, work out problems and communicate with other people.

There is a dedicated Activity Studio, 7 different case studies, an A to Z of the uses of drawing and a special ‘start’ area for kids aged 3-6yrs.

Case studies also show how drawing can help recreate the appearance of extinct species, sequence a fireworks display, develop a computer game, design a guitar or visualise how the buildings will appear in our cities.

The exhibition comes complete with a hands-on activity studio so it’s perfect for school groups and families, including a special area for kids aged 3 to 6 years of age.
