ART WARS: Region and State Competitions
Five categories have been established for the Art Wars contest.
The following are the approved categories:
• Painting: Students may use any type of paint they wish including but not limited to acrylic, watercolor, encaustic, gouache, and oil though should take into consideration the amount of time a medium like oil takes to dry.
• Drawing: Students may use any medium in the drawing related category, including but not limited to pencil, pen and ink, marker, drawing pens, brush pens, charcoal, oil pastels, chalk pastels or any other medium related to drawing. Digital tablets would go under this category as well if numbers are too low to sustain a separate digital category.
• Clay: Students may use whatever type of clay they choose to bring, including but not limited to high fire, low fire, polymer, epoxy sculpt, sculpy, or any other clay medium not listed. They are expected to bring the clay as well as the tools to work with the clay
• Digital Photography: Students may use either their phone or a DSLR camera to participate in this category. If it is a specific prompt needing a DSLR camera, the host site must provide enough cameras for participants to use. It is preferred that the host sites has computers that have access to photo-editing software such as photoshop. Students are also able to use devices to access Pixlar for photo editing as well.
• Digital Art/Tablet: Students may use a digital tablet with the drawing program including, but not limited to procreate, adobe products or other similar tablet based drawing programs
