ICAF's Third Arts Olympiad (2005-2008): Art and
Sport ICAF organizes an Arts Olympiad every four years, just like the
Olympics. The Olympiad is an international art competition with a
theme. This year, the theme is "Art and Sport." Do you ever notice
how both art and sport can help you connect with others? Playing
sports helps you develop team spirit, while the creativity you gain
from making and viewing art can help you understand and communicate
with other cultures. The ICAF Arts Olympiad will include national
and regional festivals and exhibitions. The big finale will be the World Art and Sport Festival in Washington
DC. I'm so excited! Are you? - ICAFFY You could be chosen to represent your state or your country at
the World Art and Sport Festival in Washington, DC! Here's how: create
an original artwork on the theme "My Favorite Sport". When you are
creating your artwork, think about how making art and playing sports
make you feel. Are you an artist-athlete? What role do sports play
in your life and the life of your community? You can show an Olympic
sport, a non-olympic sport, or a sport that is special to your own
culture. Hey look, there's a new category for artwork
submissions! - ICAFFY You can submit a painting or drawing OR a piece of digital art
on the "My Favorite Sport" theme. Digital art can include images
made with painting software, or digital collages made with images
from a digital camera. If your artwork is selected as your State Finalist (for US schools)
or Country Finalist (for countries other than the US), you will receive
an invitation from ICAF to come to Washington DC. You will also win
the ICAF Scholarship Award, which will enable you to participate
free of any fees in the World Art and Sport Festival in Washington,
DC.
- Tell your teacher about ICAF and about our Arts Olympiad. Your
teacher will organize an art competition on the theme, My Favorite
Sport. Your schoolteachers will then select one representative
artwork as your school's entry and mail it to ICAF for consideration
as your state or country finalist.
- You can participate in the program on your own. Make your art
on the theme, My Favorite Sport. Download
the Artwork Entry Form, complete it and have your parent sign
it, and tape it to the back of your artwork. Then carefully package
it (flat if possible) and mail it to:
- International Child Art Foundation
- 1350 Connecticut Avenue, NW
- Washington, DC 20036
- USA
When ICAF receives your artwork, it will be included in the entries
from your state or country. ICAF will notify you if you are a finalist.
