Artistic skills were tested at events in the Bristol area as part of a project to get more people drawing.

At Frenchay and Southmead hospitals, youngsters worked with artists from the Fresh Arts organisation to learn how to draw and paint the human body.

The events were part of the Big Draw scheme, which also saw two art students from the University of the West of England run a drawing session called Picture Your Future in the Pizza Express restaurant in Corn Street.

Natasha Parson and Becky Diplock asked those joining in to think about the Bristol environment by creating two large collages of drawings, which were then put on display.

One was called Good Bristol and featured everything clean and green. The other showed possible problems if not enough care was taken of the city.
