ART WORK


Amy Thompson
Rt. 1, Box 902
Point Pleasant, WV 25550

Rules:

 

1.  All Exhibits must be entirely the work of the entrant.  Artwork done on pre-drawn coloring sheets, with pain-by-number kits, by tracing, following a pattern, etc, will not be accepted.  Likewise, work done on lined paper or paper with a pre-printed border or background will not be accepted.

 

2.  Only artwork done with the last two years and not previously exhibited in the Art Work Department will be accepted.

 

3.  All exhibits must be suitable for hanging with an “S” hook on a pegboard.  Also, exhibitors in Sections IV through VII (Grade 7 – Adult) must at least mat their entries.  Artwork not ready to hang, and not accordingly matted/framed, will not be accepted.

 

4.  Exhibitors are allowed two entries in each applicable class, but no more than six entries total.  Miscellaneous classes are reserved for exhibits of any media not listed, i.e., not for extra work in other classes.

 

Tips:

 

1.  Artwork that is not matted (for the kids pre-k through 6th grade) must be sturdy enough to withstand wind.  There is an enormous fan for the Junior Fair Building which hangs above the art exhibits.  An example:  A six year old draws a picture of his family with a pencil on printer paper.  That wouldn’t hang for long alone.  However, if it is affixed to something heavier, like poster board, it would be fine.  (Double-sided tape, rubber cement, and paste sticks are good for mounting the paper in this way.

 

2.  There is also the issue of hanging on a hook.  Often, work is brought in with a string, e.g., yarn, taped to the back.  This is good if the tape is good.  Consider the dampness of the building when you choose a type of tape.  Also you could staple the string, or even punch holes a the top of the entry to hand directly on the hook.

 

3.  If you are going to mat your art, you don’t have to spend the money on a professional mat.  One could be fashioned out of things you might find around the house.  Poster paper and cardstock work great.

 

4.  Try to match your materials.  If your child likes to color with crayons, construction paper works pretty well.  Watercolor paints generally need something thick to absorb the water; if you don’t want to buy watercolor paper, cardstock works.

 

 5.  Anytime you use two or more different types of media in one piece of artwork, it will automatically be categorized in the multimedia classes.  For instance, a picture is drawn with a pencil and then colored in with chalk, crayon drawings with marker outlines, or paintings decorated with colored or glittery glues, would all be considered multi-media.

 

6.  Before bringing your artwork to the Fair, take a look at this catalog and try to determine for yourselves in what class it would be.  If you are bringing in a piece by someone else, have them tell you exactly what they used to construct it, the age group, and a title (if they like).  The person could also write out these things for you to bring with the exhibit.

 

7.  If you have questions, please call or email the chairman.  Answering these questions before registration day would certainly be more helpful than asking when you get there.

 

Notes:

 

The Art Work Department is located at the front of the Junior Fair Building.

 

There is a 50 cent fee for each entry up to 10 exhibits, a maximum of $5.00 per person per division..

 

Entry registration will be from 1:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. the day prior to the start of the fair.

 

Exhibitors may pick up their entries from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. on the day following the close of the fair.  Artwork remaining after 4:00 p.m. will be left in the Fair Office.

 

The Art Work Committee and the Mason County Fair are not responsible for lost or damaged property.

 

A People’s Choice Award will be given to the most popular exhibit.  The public will be able to vote for the award throughout the week, and it will be announced on Thursday.
