                  The World's Biggest Drawing Festival


                  Drawing Goes Beyond Art

                  Watch Sir Roger Penrose describe how drawing helps him to come up with new ideas and communicate complicated 4D shapes. Human beings are predominately visual creatures, therefore drawing is a huge untapped resource for understanding the world.

                  Drawing is a universal language that changes lives every day across both the arts and sciences.
