The Big Draw Festival<br />
On<br />
Wednesday 31st October 2018 <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
hosted an event for the Big Draw 2018 in<br />
the Concert Hall. The Big Draw Festival 2018 was<br />
all about letting loose, embracing happy accidents,<br />
discovery, and most importantly having fun with<br />
those HBs. This year’s theme was play and we<br />
created a large piece of artwork based on the idea<br />
of ‘play with shape’. 37 students attended across<br />
all year groups. They all participated, enjoyed the<br />
fun and contributed to the art work. Twelve sixth<br />
form students helped to facilitate the artwork and<br />
manage the project.<br />
We used paper roll,<br />
cut paper shapes,<br />
coloured pens,<br />
pencils and oil pastels<br />
to create the piece,<br />
which was based on<br />
shapes, and something<br />
that allowed creative<br />
freedom within the<br />
theme. There was<br />
no set idea (other<br />
than having fun<br />
with shapes) and<br />
the students had the<br />
creative freedom to<br />
think of ideas for their<br />
section of design. I also gave them some printed<br />
resources of geometric patterns and shapes to<br />
inspire their design.<br />
It was great to see all of the students working<br />
together as a team, problem solving and supporting<br />
each other. It helped the younger members of<br />
the school to build up their confidence whilst<br />
developing their creativity in a collaborative piece.<br />
The students came up with great ideas when given<br />
the freedom to think for themselves<br />
Pam Hunt (Creative Arts –Art)<br />
“The theme of the big<br />
draw was shape. I thought<br />
it was fun because there<br />
were students from<br />
different year groups and<br />
everyone was included.<br />
Working with students<br />
in other year groups was<br />
good as they were very<br />
kind and helped. We could see on the big paper that people<br />
had drawn different patterns and it was very engaging. It<br />
was good to have the opportunity to be a part of the Big<br />
Draw festival”.<br />
Dua Abbas (year 8)<br />
“I thought that it was really fun. It was nice and calm<br />
just being able to do art. The theme was play so it was a<br />
really a fun theme to draw. It was good because there were<br />
different art materials and you could showcase the work<br />
in different ways. I made a collage with shapes”.<br />
Shritu Singh (year 9)<br />
“It was a fun experience and I liked working with different<br />
year groups. Each year helped each other and it was a<br />
really nice experience. We met new people who were<br />
creative and that was good. Loads of people enjoyed it;<br />
it was a really nice opportunity and I am looking forward<br />
to doing it again in the future”.<br />
Aamina Vora (year 9)<br />
“I think it was really nice. There were lots of fun activities<br />
like drawing on the balloons. It was fun as we could make<br />
whatever we wanted in the theme of shapes. It was a good<br />
experience because it showed that we could do more with<br />
shapes and explore things”.<br />
