Art competition run by the Humane Society International, the AMCS and the SA Museum
The Humane Society International, in collaboration with the AMCS and the SA Museum, hosted an exciting art competition for children. Young artists had the opportunity to submit their artwork, with ten fortunate winners being paired with renowned artists such as Janet Laurence, Reko Rennie, and Ken Done. These esteemed artists created their own masterpieces inspired by the children's submissions.
The primary goal of this initiative was to encourage kids to unleash their creativity while engaging with important themes such as nature, conservation, and the impact of art on the world. It was also a unique chance for them to learn from some of the best in the field.
Moreover, the competition was not solely about winning; it celebrated the journey of artistic exploration. Through their participation, children had the chance to discover different cultures, learn new techniques, and understand how artists convey their ideas and beliefs through their work.
Refugee Heroes! Finding Freedom
Children delved into discussions about human rights, multiculturalism, and welcoming refugees into Australia, sparked by David Miller's powerful illustrations in "Refugees". They used their imagination and various art materials to craft posters for the SA Refugee Week: Poster Competition. Not only could they win prizes from Pulteney Grammar, but they also had the chance to showcase their work at the 'Children’s Artspace' in the Adelaide Festival Centre. Throughout this journey, they explored art from diverse cultures and times, focusing on themes like human rights, cultural diversity, and anti-racism, all while expressing compassion and hope through their own artistic creations.
