Do you know "The Big Draw"?
It is an international charity that promotes visual literacy through the universal language of drawings as a tool for learning, expression and invention.
Big Draw was founded in England in 2000 and became the largest project in the world of design.
Big Draw manages and promotes:
- educational campaigns
- artistic research projects
- educational conferences
- John Ruskin Award
- Prize of Contemporary Art with which it supports young professional and emerging artists.
- A multitude of initiatives around the world, of Awards and Exhibitions related to the theme of drawing and arts.
Big Draw involved and encouraged four million people at the drawing board.
The "Big Draw" has two record assets:
1- the longest design in the world (1 kilometer)
2- the largest number of people, 7000, who draw together.
Wow!
For the period of one month between September and October, "Big Draw Festival" is proposed every year in the world.
This time we have proposed ourselves to Terracina with the fantastic Casale Rappini, a delightful place where we have drawn and colored throughout the day.
For me it was a wonderful initiative with excellent contents with excellent goals related to knowledge and literacy of the modalities of design and creativity.
Well now I propose the photographs of the day, and my watercolor painting.
I hope you enjoyed my post and I wish you a beautiful and colorful day dedicated to the Arts and the pleasure of drawing and painting.
See you next time!

Buongiorno a tutti cari amici Steemians.
Ieri, domenica 23 settembre, ho partecipato al "Big Draw" in una location bellissima, in mezzo alla natura!
Conoscete "The Big Draw"?
E' un'Associazione internazionale a scopo benefico che promuove l'alfabetizzazione visiva attraverso il linguaggio universale del disegni come strumento per l'apprendimento ,l'espressione e l'invenzione.
Il Big Draw nasce nel 2000 in Inghilterra ed è diventato la più grande progetto nel mondo del disegno.
Il Big Draw gestisce e promuove:
- campagne educative
- progetti di ricerca artistica
- conferenze educative
- Premio John Ruskin
- Premio di Arte Contemporanea con i quali sostiene giovani artisti professionisti ed emergenti.
- Una moltitudine di iniziative in tutto il mondo, di Premi e Mostre legate al tema del disegno e delle arti.
Il Big Draw ha coinvolto e incoraggiato quattro milioni di persone al tavolo da disegno.
Il "Big Draw" ha due record all'attivo:
1- il disegno più lungo del mondo (1 chilometro)
2- il maggior numero di persone, 7000, che disegnano insieme.
Che roba!
Per il periodo di un mese tra settembre e ottobre, ogni anno nel mondo si propone "il Big Draw Festival".
Questa volta ci siamo proposti noi a Terracina con il fantastico Casale Rappini, un luogo delizioso dove abbiamo disegnato e colorato per tutto il giorno.
Per me è stata una bellissima iniziativa dai contenuti eccellenti con dei fini ottimi legati alla conoscenza e alfabetizzazione delle modalità del disegno e della creatività.
Bene adesso vi propongo le fotografie della giornata, e del mio quadro ad acquarello.
Spero che vi sia piaciuto il mio post e vi auguro una bellissima e colorata giornata all'insegna delle Arti e del piacere di disegnare e dipingere.
Alla prossima!

thank you for your nice comment @abh12345
Very lovely painting, but more than that, I am enjoying all the photos that you took when you were creating this artwork. It looks so lovely to be able to paint with a lot of people, accompanied by some furry pets also.
Gorgeous post, Armando. Well done :).

Bellissimo progetto, bellissima location e bello il tuo acquerello!!! Noi ospitiamo the Big Draw qui a Pistoia il 13 ottobre, nella nostra biblioteca! Io ed altre due pittrici condurremo due laboratori (per adulti e per ragazzi) e detto tra noi non vedo l'ora! ^_^
Grazie @silviabeneforti sono molto contento che su Steemit ci sia qualcuno che ami l'arte e legga soprattutto i post ed i progetti che condivido. Il Big Draw è fantastica-mente :-))) un gran bel progetto internazionale...in bocca al lupacchiotto!
Siamo in molti ad amare l'arte qui, solo che nel mare di post ogni tanto si perdono le cose interessanti ;) In bocca al lupacchiotto anche a te ^_^
Hola armando, bellísima esa acuarela los colores elegidos son perfectos y me gusta mucho el horno, y ese lugar es idílico, las fotografías hacen justicia al Casale , el festival es una gran idea seguro que habréis disfrutado mucho.

What a beautiful location ! Must have been quite an event, with so many talented artists creating things together :) And yours is wonderfully exquisite <3 the lemon green foliage and grass complements the stone of the house so well <3 I love the borders of the doors and window, and the shadow of that little tree is just so lovely <3
Wonderful work, @armandosodano, and a very gorgeous post, also :D I enjoy all the photos you included.... Very nice!!!
I m very glad you liked it @veryspider ;-)))
Wow! Congratulations on the participation! You joined with a lovely piece of art! Is it a sort of contest? Is anybody going to win? Or how does that work?
Thank you for sharing yet another beautiful painting with us!
cara @delishtreats is not a contest, I explained well what it is, or click on the link I posted ... a hug
I will check the link as I didn't really understand that :) Thank you for getting back to me Armando!
