The Art Contest

This contest was open to all students in elementary grades one through four, including students from private and public schools as well as home-schooled students.

Theme: Our Global Family/The Global Village

Students learn and internalize stereotypes at a very young age; as a teacher, a counselor, and/or parent you can help open minds and hearts. Our theme for our 2nd Annual Art Contest is "Our Global Family/The Global Village." We all have an image in our minds of what a stereotypical family looks like, where they live, and what they own. However, what a family values in one country may not be what a family values in another. And yet despite our differences, there are also many similarities. What do the families and homes of ordinary people look like around the globe? What do you value as a family? What should we value as a global family? How are we all part of a global village or community? We look forward to seeing how your students visualize the diversity and/or commonalities that connect our global family.

The subject of the artwork entry is to be a personal expression of "Our Global Family/The Global Village" to the student and may be in either descriptive or abstract form.

Participation:

• Group A—1^st and 2^nd grades, as of May 1, 2006
• Group B—3^rd and 4^th grades, as of May 1, 2006
