CURRENT NEEDS:
5-9 artist judges
THE PROJECT:
Students from area high school will be participating in team and individual art challenges at the High Museum.
These are the 2019 competition categories to give you an idea of the type of events artists will judge:
Individual Competitions
1) Combine 2 -Head into the gallery and pick out 2 artworks, then combine them into one composition by drawing, painting, collaging, etc.
2) Architecture Photography- Walk around the museum and Woodruff Arts Center Campus and photograph the buildings- bring your unique perspective. Choose your best photo to be judged.
3) Clay Cultural Edifices – Using clay, create a highly detailed building inspired by a culture of your choice.
4) Balance Collages- Using the provided magazines, create an interesting, highly detailed collage that exhibits balance.
Team Competitions
1) Cardboard Classroom- Teams will work quickly to re-create their art classroom using just cardboard.
2) Clay Mascot Bust- Teams will work to create a bust of their school’s mascot.
3) Drawing Rotation- Each team member will be given a sheet of paper, all members will draw for 3 minutes then pass their paper to the right, teammates will draw 2x on each paper. In the last 15 minutes the teams will collage the 5 drawings together into one composition.
4) Cut Paper PSA Posters- Work as a team to create a poster using only cut construction paper. Your poster should bring attention to any social justice issue. (Immigration, BLM, Me Too, NFL kneeling, etc.)
Note: This is not a Paint Love organized event and there is an entry fee to get into the High.
