We’d like to make this into a wider community competition in conjunction with the Strathdearn Art Group and the Natural History Club.
This can be done individually or as a family project:
- Children – Art, Short Story (video or written) This could be a painting or a collage. A4 paper, pens and poster paint are available in the shop if anyone needs some supplies.
Categories: Up to age 5, age 6 – 10 and age 11 – 16.
- Adult – Art, Short Story* (video, written – text or poem, photo)
These can include 3D structures/sculptures in whatever materials are available (for example, some communities have had Scarecrows sitting in the garden, or community benches).
*There is no stipulated length however, please bear in mind that for judging and later viewings the filmed and written pieces cannot be too long.
Sadly, the Strathdearn Art group probably won’t be able to run their art show this year and would love to see everyone’s work. We know several children have been creating their own short videos of their experiences during lockdown. Since the local natural history club have long since been recording history in the area they would love to see what has been created.
The piece can have a theme, such as the image of a rainbow, include aspects of Strathdearn’s landmarks and history, or just be about living through a lockdown – a piece of history in itself.
Entries
These can be handed into the shop, posted onto the Strathdearn Facebook page or by emailing scdassist@hotmail.com. A closing date and winners will be announced in due course.
At the end of lockdown, at such a time when The Strathdearn is re-opened, SCD would love to hold an exhibition to showcase this local talent with the Art and Natural History Club.
Good Luck!!
