GETTING INTO SHAPE
SATURDAY 16 AND SUNDAY 17 OCTOBER
11.00 - 17.00

For this year's Big Draw, the V&A's theme is 'Getting into Shape'. Put yourself into a stretchy fabric bag and get your new shape drawn on paper. Then turn your outline into an architectural design; students from the Architectural Association will be on hand to help. Alternatively make up a shape story inspired by the shapes of objects from the collections. Watch dancers perform their stretch bag dances.

On Sunday 17 October, at 14.00 and 16.00 Mark Speight from Children's BBC SMart will be inspiring everyone to think about shape. At 15.00 Anthony Browne, author of the Shape Game, will give a drawing demonstration.

The Big Draw has a simple aim: to get everyone drawing. Now in its fifth year, hundreds of venues throughout the UK will take part during October 2004 for a nationwide celebration of drawing.
