3rd Annual2018 Recycling Art Contest
January 2018
Dear students and parents,
The Sullivan County Elementary Art Departmentis getting geared up for the 3rd Annual Recyclable Art Contest, for students in grades K – 6th, in celebration of Earth Day.
Students may submit one work of art constructed entirely of recyclable materialsto Mrs. Swift by April 6, 2018. Artwork may not exceed 36 inches in any direction. Please consider dropping projects off by hand rather than sending them on the bus to limit transportation issues. Large projects must be dropped off by parents.
Students may work in any media. If the artwork is free standing, it must be stable enough to stand alone without falling over. If it is a piece that is to be hung, please make sure the materials used to hang the artwork are strong and durable enough to hold the piece. Parents must sign consent formon back for artwork to be entered into competition.
A panel of judges will rate the work based on these criteria:
Integration and Transformation- How are the recyclable items incorporated into the project to transform them into a piece of art?
Creativity, Individuality, Originality, Uniqueness-How does the piece of work reflect the theme of using recyclable materials to produce artwork that is unique?
Presentation, Looks-Was the participant able to pull the materials together to create a neat, clearly formed piece of art?
*A written explanation telling about your artwork and how you made it is appreciated!
Thanks to our sponsors (to be announced later);1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place winners will receive cash prizesin two different grade level groups (K-3) and (4-6). All students will receive a certificate of participationand theirartwork will be on display throughout the building throughout April, until the SCES art show on May 3, 2018.
