Student artists get chance to display work on Capitol Hill
McKinney Courier-Gazette
Today U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson (3rd Dist.-Texas) invited high school students residing in the Third Congressional District to submit original artwork for the annual Congressional Art Competition. This contest is open to students enrolled in public, private or home schools.
Teachers and parents should contact the local office on behalf of students no later than February 12th to enter the student’s name, hometown and school. The deadline for entries is February 22, 2010. Participating artwork must be received in the district office by 12:00pm. Parents, students or art teachers should call Deanna Kuykendall at 972-470-0892 or email her at Deanna.Kuykendall@mail.house.gov.
In addition, all artwork submitted will be displayed at a formal art presentation in the spring. The event will be open to the public and free of charge. Once the date, time and location are confirmed, the high school art show details will be announced to the news media and public.
The rules are as follows: artwork must be an original concept, not reproduced from an existing photo, painting or other such work. It must be two dimensional, no larger than 30” by 30” framed and no more than 4 inches in depth. The entry must fall into one of the following categories: paintings (oil, watercolor, acrylic, etc.); drawings (pastels, pencil, charcoal, ink, markers, etc.); collages (must be two dimensional); prints (lithographs, silk screens, block prints); mixed media; computer graphics; and photography. The winning artwork will have to be framed.
High school students wishing to participate in the 2010 Congressional Art Competition should contact their art teachers and/or Johnson’s office; Congressman Johnson mailed out official information to all high schools and senior high schools last week.
