What did our judges say about the Grand Prize pictures?
Primary School Winner - P9
The two sides of this picture depict how global warming affects all parts of the planet. The giraffe is suffering from overheating in a landscape of drought and burning trees, and the poor penguin is surrounded by melting ice. A bleak picture indeed, but the images are imaginative and thoughtful. There is a good use of shape, as opportunities were taken in the patterning of the giraffe, the cracked desert floor, the penguin, and the sun, to use a variety including squares, circles, triangles, and more. There is a good use of colour to highlight the contrasting environments. This artwork shows originality and creativity. Well done!
Secondary School Winner - S3
This piece of artwork showed great imagination and creativity. It was very carefully drawn with every shape in the scene being recognisably geometric and beautifully coloured. The image of the melting ice bear was inspired. It was powerful, highly relevant to the theme of the competition, and emotionally moving. Weeks later I have continued to think about this piece of work. Congratulations to the young artist.
