Drawing is a fundamental practice of science and there is growing evidence that we should be encouraging drawing across the curriculum and age span. In this presentation, I will illustrate a number of different functions that drawing serves in education. We will also look at the role of the teacher in supporting learners to draw the right things and in the right ways for learning and assessment. We will consider some possible concerns (do you need to draw well to learn or teach by drawing? Is drawing anxiety real?) and future opportunities (Is technology expanding the potential for drawing?). We might even get some coloured pencils out!
