Big Drawings of Bushy Birds Swans to skylarks - get drawn to Bushy Park The Royal Parks will host an outdoor Artists' Studio in Bushy Park on Wednesday 28 October 2009. As part of the nationwide Big Draw month, the Royal Parks' education team and Artist in Residence, Caroline Jones, will work with children and adults to create artwork inspired by birds. This free day of creative fun will take place from 11am to 3pm in the Children's Playground, Bushy Park. Activities include drawing birds, folding origami birds and making flapping bird finger puppets. There will also be a competition to draw the best 'Bushy Bird' and there will be lots of information on the birds that live in the park. Hannah Pritchard, Education and Community Engagement Officer, Bushy Park said: "We hope that The Big Draw will encourage lots of people to get creative and to have fun in the great outdoors. The theme this year is birds and there is no shortage of inspiration in Bushy Park."
