First class winners from fourth graders at ATB art contest
It might be time to play a new game: Are You a Better Artist Than a Fourth Grader?
From the impressive results of ATB Financial’s first annual Young Artists Competition, the short answer is “probably not.”
Winners of the province-wide art contest were announced today, unveiling original, Alberta-themed artwork from 31 Grade Four students from communities across Alberta. Five are from Edmonton: Taylor Stanley from Belmont school, Cameron Orr (Mills Haven), Amrit Augla (Bisset) Caterina Mowbrey (St. Mary Catholic) and Kylie Eyestone (Florence Hallocck).
Judged on “content, creativity, composition and craftsmanship” by a panel of experts from the Art Gallery of Alberta, the pieces will be framed and displayed in the lobby of the AGA until May 20, after which the art will be exhibited in the artists’ communities until August. The kids get to keep their framed artwork.
