Art Competition 

Design your own picture of one of the topic themes listed below, and your artwork could be selected to be printed and published in an exciting soon-to be-released children’s poetry book titled:    ‘The Kids Book of Wisdoms… on all kinds of stuff!’ by author Zoë Owl (Rory’s mum in Heather Class). 

The art competition is open to all year groups of all abilities.

Conditions of Entry:

Draw your design on an A4 piece of white paper leaving a 3cm clear border around the edges of your A4 sheet to ensure none of your precious artwork is cut off during printing.

• Write your full name and class on the back of the design in light pencil.
• Simple, clear pencil outline drawings with pencil shading are ideal, or you can use coloured felt tip pens.- no paints or collage. Keep it simple!
• You can enter as many times as you like, on as many themes as you like….so get busy creating your ideas over the half term break!

Pop your design into the ART COMPETITION Post Box outside the School Office by the deadline of noon  on MONDAY  29^th February 2016

Prizes:

There will be an art-related ‘surprise prize’ for every selected piece of artwork, plus your artwork could feature in a published children’s book and you will also receive a special edition, author signed copy of the book.

If your artwork is selected, you will also get the chance to show off your artwork in an assembly.
