Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2023 Education Pack
An Education Pack inspired by the drawings included in the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2023 exhibition.
Published: September 2023
Drawing is Free has created an Education Pack inspired by the drawings included in the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2023︎︎︎ exhibition.
The pack is titled What It Is To Draw, and the five booklets address drawing a portrait, space, nature, fabric, and drawing from imagination. Each booklet takes drawings in the prize as a starting point, using quotes from the artists featured to discuss the theme. They contain short pieces of writing exploring the themes of the work, and drawing prompts to help you explore what it is to draw for yourself.
When printed double-sided on A3 paper, the booklets open out to posters of selected works from this years’ prize.
When folded, they can be bound together with the A6 postcard cover and two elastic bands.

“It was a powerful experience to see the drawings I have been looking at and thinking about this past month in the flesh. The qualities of the materials, subtleties of layers, the trace of the artists hands at work, the scale… a whole universe compared to the flattened digital copy.”
When printed double-sided on A3 paper, the booklets open out to posters of selected works from this years’ prize.
