Procedure
Use generic inventory entry forms provided by the Art Education Program found at http://divisionoflifeskills.dadeschools.net/asp/va_exhibitionforms.asp. Forms should be typed or clearly written, please include one form in portfolio and retain a copy for your records. Please type label and attach on right side of the matt for 2-D works.

Jurying and Judging

The quality of the work and its successful presentation are one of the factors that are considered in the judging process. The judges look for originality, personal use of media, skill and technique, and evidence of the emergence of a personal/artistic vision and style. Work submitted must be original student art that does not infringe on someone else’ work or idea. If a teacher is sending in work from a lesson that uses appropriation, parody, or satire, they must still credit or cite the original piece of art. For example, changing the medium of an original work or creating a painting based on an existing photograph is still a violation of copyright. For more information on copyright visit: www.copyrightalliance.org. Students may however use their own original photograph to create an artwork. It is recommended that students include a copy of photograph used. Teachers are notified of accepted work via Email.

project will further help the student develop, understand, respect and have acceptance for cultural,
ethnic, and human diversity

multicultural diversity, creating change, social justice, and equality.

of school.
The Prize:

Word/Poetry pieces chosen to represent each school will be compiled to form an anthology available for

Center’s Family Fest Awareness Day Fair on the Thomson Plaza for the Arts on November 3, 2012 at
11:30 am.
