The Wildflower! Arts and Music Festival is more than rock bands, groovy vibes, and live concerts. Since 2003 the annual event also invites students in Kindergarten thru 6th grade to participate in an art contest. Last year more than 1,100 students returned a drawing for the \u201cPooch Portraits\u201d contest.<\/p>\n
The 2016 theme is \u201cPicasso Portraits\u201d because it is hip to be square and Pablo Picasso believed that \u201cEvery child is an artist.\u201d The contest is free and Wildflower! provides 12\u201d square white poster boards for students to design their portrait.<\/p>\n
Cubism style shows all sides of an object in one drawing and artists are encouraged to use pencils, crayons, markers, or paint.<\/p>\n
Entries must have an official form<\/a> attached to the back of the square and delivered by April 25, 2016 to the Community Events office, located at 2100 E. Campbell Road, Suite 100, Richardson, TX. Local artists will then judge the portraits and ribbons will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Honorable Mention in each grade level. The winners will be notified by May 13 and their work will be displayed in the Kidz Korner May 20-22 at Wildflower! Arts and Music Festival.<\/p>\n Students may pick-up their entries from the Community Events office the week of May 30-June 3, 2016. Don\u2019t forget to share a picture of the portrait tagging #WAMFest2016 on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter. The complete guidelines and contact information for \u201cPicasso Portraits\u201d is detailed on the website: https:\/\/wildflowerfestival.com\/StudentArtContest.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Wildflower!
