ARTS OLYMPIAD COMPETITION GUIDELINES

Organize an art competition on the theme My Favorite Sport into which the students combine the themes discussed in class.  Encourage students to be creative with the topic, particularly those who do not see themselves as athletic. Ask them to look deeper into the sport than just the actions themselves; ask them to look at the message, movement, and values that are related to sports. 

Students may choose to represent a native sport, or a sport they like to play or watch, or they may invent their own sport, etc?nbsp;  If possible, involve the athletics instructor�with energy and passion, the very act of making art can be an athletic activity!

Submissions must be in one of these two forms:

i.                    TRADITIONAL 2-DIMENSIONAL ART

A painting or drawing on paper, canvas, silk or any other two-dimensional medium,

45 x 60 cm size; or 

ii.                  DIGITAL ART

Static visual work created using digital tools to imagine a sport, capture the image of a favorite sport, or a collage combining the two.

SELECTION OF ENTRIES

Please select a panel of judges, which may include local artists, teachers, or students, to choose one School Entry in the painting or drawing category and another in the digital art category.  Your judging criteria should give more weight to imagination and originality, rather than technical merit alone.

SENDING ENTRIES

The School Entry in the painting/drawing category should be mailed to
