 National Building Museum 

I plan to visit the National Building Museum which is featuring an exhibit entitled David Macaulay: The Art of Drawing Architecture. There's a good video on the museum website of Macaulay drawing a portion of the museum during The Big Draw event held there last summer. I particularly like his demonstration of the use of single point perspective. I've always used the concept in my drawings, but never in such a simple, practical way.

The Big Draw is a group drawing event originated by the Campaign for Drawing in the United Kingdom. The purpose is “to get everyone drawing”. Last October there were 1,000 events throughout Britain where 350,000 people participated. What a great idea.
