Het Zeeuws Museum has made a drawing book to help as many people as possible to learn to draw. Because through drawing people learn to look more closely and to discover and experience things better. This makes life easier to understand and makes the world around you far more interesting. Zeeland-born artists Liesbeth Labeur and Ben Vranken invite you to paint and draw with them. The book also features contributions from Wim Hofman, Michiel Paalvast and Robin Stam.
Fun for the whole class
Drawing can bring people together to learn, discover, create and have fun. We want to introduce everyone to drawing. Introduce your class to the joys of drawing! In this project the pupils learn to look more closely at, explore and draw objects, art or nature, The programme is based on the philosophy of the international 'Campaign for Drawing'.
