POWER DRAWING PUBLICATIONS

The Campaign for Drawing's Power Drawing books set out the purposes of drawing in a range of settings. Pocket-sized A5, in full colour, they are packed with examples, ideas and advice. Drawings by children and adults show convincingly the power of drawing as a medium for thought and action.

Power Drawing books are for teachers, cultural educators, Big Draw organisers, artists, workshop leaders and others – everyone who is interested in the power of drawing to enable us to understand, think and make things happen. All publications are suitable for PGCE or BEd students: select the title which is closest to your area of study.
