What’s the Big Draw for People in Attleborough and East Harling this Month?

In this 90-second speed read, we discover how something so simple to do can have such big positive effects.

This month sees the world’s biggest drawing festival take place.
Throughout October, there are activities taking place across the globe to encourage people to pick up a pencil and pen and start getting creative.
Due to Covid-19, many of these are now taking place online. And at the end of this article, we share a link where you can access more information.
The Big Draw attracts millions of people of all ages and highlights the benefits of getting arty.
These include:
Reducing stress – drawing takes your mind off things, and let’s face it, plenty is happening in the world right now that we might want to forget about.
Building relationships – sitting down to draw with your kids or friends creates a sense of shared experience and builds bonds.
Engaging creativity – merely grabbing a piece of paper and a pencil can kickstart the creative parts of your brain and has been shown to improve your memory.
The benefits of it are incredibly powerful among kids, and it can help to build self-esteem, motor skills, and get them away from gadgets.
The Big Draw’s theme this year is ‘A Climate of Change’ and is encouraging people to draw their thoughts and ideas on how we can live more harmoniously with our natural environments.
