How You Can Draw It

Drawn Together: A Nationwide Artist Anti-Terrorist Action


We Need You! Do a drawing in your community to show our country stands united!

Materials:

  • Sidewalk chalk (wide) — to outline buildings and
    planes and do the writings
  • Blackboard chalk (thin) — to draw guidelines and smaller type
  • Tape measure
  • Long wood sticks or yardsticks (optional)
  • Knee pads (optional)
  • Camera — to record what you've done and submit to this site

Construction Sequence:

    1. Locate where you want to do the drawing. Suggestions: somewhere people will see it, perhaps a public park, school or commons. Ideally it will be located so people can walk around it and not through it. Be sure and ask permission if it’s private property.

    2. Draw a straight line for the ground and the 2 towers (58" wide x 31’ 9.5" tall) with wide chalk.

    3. Add the outlines of the two 767 airplanes (each plane is 56" long with a 48" wingspan).

    4. Draw the people 1.6 inches tall.

    5. Add the writings around the drawing.

    6. Write "DRAWN TO SCALE" Scale 1 : 43 (1" on drawing = 3.5' in life) at the base of the drawing. Include www.DrawnTogether.org along the sides.

Memorial writings — to form the inner rectangle

In memory, and in honor of all who were lost in this tragedy...in gratitude for the tireless efforts of rescue workers, and the sacrifices so many are making. We share the loss of families, friends and colleagues.

We extend our deepest sympathies to those who have lost loved ones.

And moving forward — to form the outer rectangle of writings

WTC Architect Minoru Yamasaki in 1966 — "The World Trade Center should, because of its importance, become a living representation of man's belief in humanity, his need for individual dignity, his belief in the cooperation of men, and through this cooperation his ability to find greatness."

Remember. Rebuild. Renew.
