Big Draw 2004, NMGW, Cardiff

On 1 October, children from local schools focused on looking at and drawing portraits. Paintings from the collections provided lots of ideas. At the end of the day they came together in the drawing studio. Sports men and women struck poses within frames while the children filled their sketchbooks with lots of drawings.
