The Big Draw 2026: Make a Mark

The Walt Disney Family Museum is turning drawing into something more hands-on for The Big Draw, with a full day of activities that make sense even if your sketchbook usually stays closed. The strongest picks are the ones that lean into animation: rapid gesture drawing uses moving footage as a reference, while claymation lets you shape characters and see how small movements become a stop-motion film. There are also creature trading cards, continuous-line drawings and marble painting, so you can move between structured exercises and messier experiments without committing to a class. Most activities are free, although the museum galleries require paid admission. The Sunday timing makes this an easy Presidio outing, particularly if you have kids who need something more engaging than simply looking at exhibits. It is also a nice reminder that drawing here is treated as a way of thinking, not just a finished product.
