YOUNG artists have been busy as part of a campaign to get everyone drawing.

There were Big Draw events at the Greyfriars, Worcester City Art Gallery and Museum, and the Fold, Bransford, on Saturday.

Hundreds of families took part in the events, which organisers hailed a great success.

At the Greyfriars in Friar Street, Worcester, an archaeological illustrator from Worcestershire County Council spent time with more than 100 visitors.

Children and adults created archaeological drawings and rubbings from 19th-century print blocks.

Over at the Fold, artist Rachel Griffiths helped visitors create fantasy paper plants. She said: “We have had lots of people of different ages coming along and it has been really busy.”

The fantasy plants made from prints and drawings were hung in a polytunnel at the Fold and will be on display this week.

At Worcester City Museum in Foregate Street, children got to work making storybooks out of large pieces of paper.

Museum facilities assistant Vickie Roberts said: “It has gone well and everyone has enjoyed it; everyone took their books home to show their families.”

Hundreds of Big Draw events were held across the country to get more people drawing and enjoying art.
