2018 School Art Open House

Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo

STROKE OF GENIUS

The images depicted in this presentation

are provided to stimulate ideas, and

suggest new techniques. Copying ANY

likeness of these images is not permitted

as most are from professional artists.

Some of these techniques may not be

suitable for some students’ abilities.

HLSR School Art is very proud of the hard

work all students, teachers and

administrators put forth every year. We

wish you the very best and look forward to

a successful 2018!

JUDGING CRITERIA – ALL ENTRIES1. The following criteria will be considered when artwork is judged. Originality, creativity and composition will be heavily weighted along with the student’s ability to apply technical skill and artistic excellence.

a. Originality: Is the concept or idea original? Is it the student’s own work and/or does the work show composition with multiple sources? Does it appeal to a wide-ranging audience?

b. Creativity: Does the piece of art show the student’s imagination? Is the subject matter unique? Is the interpretation innovative?

c. Skill: Skill is assessed based on the age of the artist.

d. Excellence in 2D drawing: What extent of accuracy has the student achieved? How difficult is the chosen media? How well does the student draw, use colors, hues, shading and textures?

Explore the raw

talent and unknown

possibilities by

expanding new

techniques, colorful

palettes, and

creative

approaches to

Western Art. “Spur Stop” – Deb Penk

colors, and

textures.

Keys to choosing good sources;

- Your source(s) should be of Western theme or

heritage.

- Stay away from using your family members, pets, etc.

as primary sources unless you plan on adding multiple

western sources to complement them.

- Go with unique sources and titles.

- Subject should stimulate emotion to the your

audience.

- Ask yourself while choosing the source, would this be

something I would hang in my home?

- Think of how the auction buyers see the art!

Keys to a successful piece of artwork;

- Be comfortable with your medium.

- Use multiple sources.

- Take some time and sketch different ideas for

your artwork. Take pictures yourself if time. Go on

short field trips with friends to shoot pictures

- Art with movement and color drive positive

emotions with audiences.

- Stay away from drab colors and subject matter.

- Strong contrasts and vivid colors help deliver

the message of the artworks’ story.

- Don’t be afraid to be creative!

Take a simple subject and maximize it with vivid colors, palettes and shadows.

- Double check your rules and make sure all images are correct size and mediums are completely dry, etc.

- Allow your students to have fun with their art!
