We'll be rolling out some huge sheets of paper and then outlining window shapes onto the paper. The children will draw monsters in each of the window shapes. When each window is filled with monsters we will cut them out and place them in the windows of the actual buses. We'll be letting some lucky artists stick them on the bus windows themselves!\nThe finished Monster buses should present a fantastic photo opportunity…... the Monsters are taking over the buses!\nThere will also be the opportunity for children to join in with 2 'make and take' tables, creating monsters from recycled materials.\nThe Big DrawOctober is Big Draw month. This annual initiative, the Campaign's flagship programme, aims to bring communities together in creative ways. It is the largest drawing festival in the world. More than 1000 venues take part throughout October from national galleries, museums and heritage sites to nursery schools and village halls. Big Draw activities show how drawing can be used to connect visitors with our cultural heritage, natural or built environment – and each other. Schools often invite the wider community to share the pleasures of learning through drawing. Last year 22 countries joined the UK in organising events.\nThe Campaign for DrawingThe Campaign for Drawing has one aim: to get everyone drawing!Why? Drawing helps us to think, invent and communicate – regardless of age and ability. The Campaign took its initial inspiration from the visionary Victorian artist and writer, John Ruskin. www.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Ruskin. In a strange quirk of fate, Bartons bought three cottages in Chilwell named after the every same Ruskin, situated at the top of Bridge Avenue, built around 1906; they have a stone with the name engraved on them, with beside them, 'Carlyle ' cottages (Thomas Carlyle was John Ruskin's mentor).
