Dear Parents/Carers

Bedford Modern Junior School will be running an exciting new Art Competition! The competition is open to all children in years 3, 4, 5 and 6. The aim of the competition is to inspire local children to explore their artistic talent, and to encourage them to engage in a project which will be exhibited at Bedford Modern School at the prize giving exhibition.  The deadline date is Monday 20^th February 2017.

The theme of the competition is ‘Faces and Portraits’ and entrants are required to create an imaginative artwork which reflects this. Entries may, for example, a self-portrait or a picture of themselves, someone they know or admire.

The artwork submitted must be 2D and less than A2 in size. Entrants can use a range of materials and techniques from the following list: drawing (e.g. pencil, pen, crayon, pastel, etc.), painting, photography, face paint and collage. Entries can be produced on paper or on stretched canvas. 3D entries must be displayable on a wall.

We very much hope that you will support your child in entering this competition and look forward to sharing our talent with local Bedford schools.  Please ensure names and classes are on the back of the entry and give to the office FAO Mrs Benson.

Yours faithfully

Mrs Benson

(Art Co-ordinator)
