The North Thompson Arts Council (NTAC) will be holding an Art Contest for elementary students of the North Thompson Valley. This contest is open to all interested elementary students, from kindergarten to grade 7. There will be two categories: one for those from kindergarten to grade 3; and one for those from grade 4 to grade 7.
Students are invited to create a work of two dimensional art on an 8 ½” x 11” sheet of paper, using any media they wish: pencil, charcoal, watercolour, acrylics, oil paints, etc. The artwork can be in any style and on any theme.
Students must provide a short description or story about their work of art, to a maximum of 50 words. Students must also clearly label their artwork and write-up with their name and grade.
