Dorset Landscape Types and Character; The Drawing Inspiration Project (AONB)


For some years now I have been researching  and working on a book project about "Art and the Dorset Landscape" , so I am naturally interested in these AONB activities.

The Drawing Inspiration Project

Information supplied by the Project Co-Ordinator, Crystal Johnson
"Your chance to be part of a project looking at Dorset’s landscape, its inspirational quality and how it has changed over time.

Over the centuries, Dorset’s landscapes have inspired authors, poets, scientists and artists. Their work not only tells us about the physical landscape but also the cultural and social changes that have shaped how we live today.

The Drawing Inspiration project encourages people to look at the landscape from a new perspective. In spring 2014, we will be organising a number of exhibitions, walks, talks and events across the county and we’d love you to be a part of it!"
