Community Art Club - This month: Wildflowers!
Get involved with Andover Trees United’s new monthly art gallery! We are encouraging everyone to get out and explore and draw or paint or model his or her local wildlife, each month focusing on a different theme.
This month – Wildflowers!
Noticing and appreciating nature is even more fun when you involve art and a drawing or painting of our local habitats, whether in town or country, is a great way to do this.
Each month we will celebrate four pieces of art. One will be chosen by the volunteers and one will be chosen by a special guest. The names of all who send in a contribution will be ‘put in a hat’, and two names will be drawn out – one from schools and one from everyone else.
We hope that this can be a fun and educational experience and can help us all to learn to respect and admire all of the wildlife around us.
There will be a small ‘prize’ each month for each of those selected ... all entries will be featured on our website and may even be included in our new signage at Harmony Woods! This month’s theme, Wildflowers runs until 30th June, and winners will be announced a week later (all being well!).
Don’t hold back because you think you can’t draw, your creations won’t be judged for artistic talent, and the competition is open to absolutely everybody - so please get involved!
Please send all entries to: volunteers@andovertrees.org.uk .
Include the artist’s name and some contact details and IF this is work that has been done with teachers in school, the name of the school ... and we will contact you if your artwork has been selected for a small prize :)
Good luck!
Have fun!
Love nature!
