Mint Hill Arts Announces
The ‘Un-Creative’ Summer Art Contest
Two age categories: 5-8 & 9-12
Awards for each category:
1st Place: Prismacolor Pencil Set
2nd Place: Sketch Pad
Table with materials will be set up on Thursdays – Saturdays Only
12:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Most of the time children are told to be creative and just draw anything, but we wanted to give a little twist to this contest! Imitating great works of art was a very popular tradition among aspiring artists in the 19th century. They would set up their easels in a gallery and copy a favorite work of art. The very act of copying enabled them to improve their own technique, because it required close observation of such things as the colors and brushstrokes of a master artist. This website will tell you more about the
tradition: www.realistartresource.com
We encourage you to bring your children to visit the gallery in Mint Hill at 11205 Lawyers Rd –and be inspired! They may pick a painting (or other type of work) from our current show to imitate. We will provide paper and colored pencils so that the child can copy the work while you peruse our June and July art show. Winners will be selected by August 1st and announced at our August Opening Reception (7:00 p.m. on August 2, 2019). You don’t have to be present to win.
We need and appreciate your monetary contributions.
Mint Hill Arts is always seeking sponsors and asks for your support. Please keep us in mind when you have an opportunity to designate a recipient of a dollar matching program. If you plan to designate a charity to receive funds from your estate please keep us in mind.We strive to keep the community involved in the arts. Thank you.
