Originality, creativity and composition will be heavily weighted
along with the student’s ability to apply technical skill and artistic
excellence.

own work and/or does the work show composition with multiple
sources? Does it appeal to a wide-ranging audience?
b. Creativity: Does the piece of art show the student’s imagination?
Is the subject matter unique? Is the interpretation innovative?
c. Skill: Skill is assessed based on the age of the artist.
d. Excellence in 2D drawing: What extent of accuracy has the
student achieved? How difficult is the chosen media? How well
does the student draw, use colors, hues, shading and textures?

Keys to choosing good sources;
      - Your source(s) should be of Western theme or
heritage.
      - Stay away from using your family members, pets, etc.
as primary sources unless you plan on adding multiple
western sources to complement them.
      - Go with unique sources and titles.
      - Subject should stimulate emotion to the your
audience.
      - Ask yourself while choosing the source, would this be
something I would hang in my home?
      - Think of how the auction buyers see the art!
Keys to a successful piece of artwork;
       - Be comfortable with your medium.
        - Use multiple sources.
        - Take some time and sketch different ideas for
        your artwork. Take pictures yourself if time. Go on
short field trips with friends to shoot pictures
        - Art with movement and color drive positive
          emotions with audiences.
        - Stay away from drab colors and subject matter.
        - Strong contrasts and vivid colors help deliver
          the message of the artworks’ story.
        - Don’t be afraid to be creative!

Key Notes for 2018
       - Use lots of color, have some fun with
              your subject matter.
       - Titles are just as important as the art itself.
       - Do your sources inspire others?
     - Double check your rules and make sure all
images are correct size and mediums are
completely dry, etc.
       - Allow your students to have fun with their
art!
