For the visual arts, participants may use media such as paper, clay, leather, fiber, wood, chalk, carbon/pigment, glass/plastic, metal, and nature to produce their art. The art can even be 3D or computer generated. Non-original arts are made from either kits, pre-printed designs, or pre-molded pieces. Original arts are designs created completely by the exhibitor. Other projects included animal science, career/ leadership, general entomology, floriculture, horticulture and photography. Visual arts are judged on correct use of design elements, principles, expressive elements and technique. Other important areas include craftsmanship, creativity and inventiveness. Some 4-H members did projects using various media and entered both visual and non-visual projects, while others focused on one project. Many have been working on their projects for the past few months while others started projects the last few weeks. Youth of all ages participate in the Monday morning 4-H General Projects judging Besides long time 4-H members were youngsters entering projects for the first time.
