The Visual Arts Component is designed to offer students with artistic ability an opportunity to participate in a futuristic program. Students, dealing with the same problem topics as those selected for Global Issues Problem Solving teams for the year, develop a piece of artwork on their own.
The study and research of the topic is still present, but the format for presenting conclusions and impressions is a two or three-dimensional piece of artwork rather than a problem solving booklet. Students may choose to address any of the four Global Issues Problem Solving team topics for the year. You are encouraged to tell other teachers about this program as they may wish to incorporate it into their classroom curriculum. This year's topics are Tourism, Urbanization, Antarctica, Autonomous Transportation.
Each submission should have an official cover sheet. This form can be found as an attached file below. Registration forms are due to WVFPSP by March 1, 2024.
The Art Component is open to all students, whether they participate on a GIPS team or not. Divisions for this program correspond to those of GIPS teams. The junior division includes grades 4-6, the middle division includes grades 7-9, and the senior division, grades 10-12.
Each submission must be sent to Mountaineer Middle School, Attn: Robyn Addie or via email, no later than March 1, 2024. Artwork should be emailed to wvfpsp@gmail.com by the above-mentioned date. Judging takes place at the state level, within divisions. The artwork must be displayed at the WVFPSP State Bowl on Saturday, March 23, 2024. Submissions are to be in their original form or may be submitted as unenhanced digital photos of the artwork in jpeg format. One photo must show the entire piece. The artwork must be no larger than 24”x36”, not including optional matting or/framing. The subject matter should be appropriate to the WVFPSP State Bowl audience (4th-12th grade students and their parents). All submissions MUST be accompanied by the "Publication Release and Behavior Form" below.
The Visual Arts component is a pilot program. At this time, there is NO ADVANCEMENT to the International level.
