Welcome to the FINAL Art Club Challenge!
Before we look at it in more detail here is the link to last week's To Infinity And Beyond exhibition if you haven't already seen it:
So 20 weeks, 20 challenges. We started by Looking Through The Window and ended up going to Infinity And Beyond. Every challenge has been filled with some amazing, memorable pieces of art.
This week we're inspired by The Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition to round off all our challenges, so here it is...
Challenge 20 - The Summer Exhibition
This week there is NO THEME!
You can create anything you want, however you want, using any materials, technique or style you like.
This might mean you do a totally new piece of art for our final exhibition or you may look back on pieces you have done in previous challenges and choose your favourite to submit.
If you are doing a new piece of art, think back to all the different types of art we have looked at and that you have created:
- Do you have a favourite artist that you'd like to do something in their style?
- Have you found a particular material, technique or style that you liked using and would like to use again?
- Is there a theme we haven't covered that you are really interested in and would like to do a piece of art around that?
- Is there a theme we have done that you'd like to revisit and do differently?
- Are you going to do something realistic or abstract? A portrait or a landscape? What will your subject be?
- Are you going to use a particular material or do a mixed media piece?
- Is it going to be 2D or 3D?
Lots of things to think about - this is our final challenge and our ultimate Summer Exhibition in the style of the Royal Academy, so give it some thought and aim for this to be your best piece of art yet!
Remember: if you have already submitted a piece of art in another challenge that you are particularly proud of, you can just tell us and we'll put that into the exhibition instead of a new piece.
Now here's a little more information about the actual Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition is the world’s oldest open submission exhibition – which means that anyone can enter a piece of artwork about anything, created in anyway, that might be included in the final exhibition. This means there will be art by famous artists alongside art by ANYONE! It’s happened every year since 1769!
It looks like this:
SO MUCH ART!
Alongside the main 'adult artist' exhibition above, there is The Young Artists’ Summer Show. This is a free, open submission exhibition for young people aged 5 - 19 years, taking place both online and on-site at the Royal Academy of Arts to recognise talented young artists.
This year’s judging panel received over 17,700 submissions – and whittled them down to 392 works, ranging from drawing, painting and photography, to video and sculpture. Right now, it’s an online-only exhibition, but a selection of these works will be displayed on-site at the Royal Academy in the autumn.
Here's a video from a previous exhibition (at that point it was open to 7 - 19 year olds, now the age has been lowered to 5):
So this week, for our final challenge we are going to hold our own virtual Summer Exhibition - and remember there is NO theme, you can submit any piece of artwork about anything you want and in any medium you want.
Here are some different examples from the current Young Artists' Summer Show, from a variety of ages.
Storm - Connie aged 10
Royal Albert Hall - Willow aged 11
Lady With Blue Hair - Marlie aged 10
Hopefully, some of the above have inspired you to create your own, unique pieces of art for our final challenge.
Next year you might even think of entering The Royal Academy Young Artists' Summer Show yourself - you are all certainly talented enough.
You can find out more details here:
However, we've got our very own MG Summer Exhibition first! As ever, please take a photograph of your finished art work and send it by Friday 7th August to:
Please submit only one piece of art
each this week.
We are going to ask everyone who has been involved in the Art Club, as well as the MG staff and parents to get creating so it might be a pretty big exhibition with........
LOTS AND LOTS OF AMAZING ART!!
