T
he Visual Arts section at the Logan County
Fair provides a chance for many children
and adults from around Logan County to
showcase their talents.
On Monday morning, 4-H Non-original Visual
Arts and 4-H Visual Arts judging took place.
Participants use media such as paper, clay, fiber,
wood, chalk/carbon/pigment, glass/plastic, metal,
and nature to produce their works of art with
some spending months preparing their projects
for the fair.
Non-Original arts are made from kits, pre-printed
designs, and pre-molded pieces, and the original
arts are original designs created by the exhibitor.
The art is judged for its craftsmanship,
originality, and creativity, but that is just part of
it. 4-H members must have a general knowledge
of art concepts and be able to give a detailed
explanation of their project.
4-H members are also judged on how well they
explain the project goals, decisions, and results
shown, and a self-evaluation of what they might
have done differently. In addition, 4-Hers have
to describe the skills learned and techniques and
design elements they used.

art projects are judged. The Schempps were just two of
several dozen 4-H youth who packed up their projects
and brought them to the Logan County Fairgrounds on
Monday morning for judging. The projects will be on dis-
play all week, during the Logan County Fair in the exhibit
barn behind the grandstand area.
