On Monday morning, 4-H Non-original Visual Arts
and 4-H Visual Arts judging took place.
Participants may use media such as paper, clay, fiber,
wood, chalk/carbon/pigment, glass/plastic, metal,
and nature to produce their art. Some spend months
preparing their projects, while others finish their
work close to the deadline.
Non-Original arts are made from kits, pre-printed
designs, or pre-molded pieces, and original arts are
designs created completely by the exhibitor.
The art is judged for its craftsmanship, originality,
and creativity, but that is just a small portion. 4-H
members must also have a general knowledge of art
concepts and be able to share a detailed explanation
of their project.
4-H members are also judged on how well they
explain project goals, decisions, and results shown,
and provide a self-evaluation of what they might
have done differently. In addition, 4-Hers have
to describe what skills they learned in addition to
techniques and design elements they used.
Both during and after judging the judges make
comments indicating where participants did well and
where they could improve. The little details can be
significant.
Dalton Hemerough entered a project for the
first time with an original Spiderman drawing.
Hemerough said he chose to draw Spiderman
because it is his favorite superhero.
Many 4-H members did projects using various
media.
Sarai Jackson just joined 4-H this year and did a
non-original clay project, which she painted, and an
original paper mache item. Jackson said she had
also done an animal science project.
