Take It Outside Art Contest

Sponsored by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources
641/747-2200; Edinfo@dnr.iowa.gov

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources invites you to enroll your class in our third annual “Take It Outside” Art Contest — win prizes that will get you and your students involved in outdoor activities.

This year's art contest will focus on natural places — from prairies and forests to lakes and streams. Natural places can be public — like national wildlife refuges; state, county and city parks and recreation areas; school grounds. They can be smaller and private — backyards, vacant lots. Regardless of size or location, special places connect us to the outdoors. Where is your favorite place to "take it outside?" How do you enjoy your special natural area? Do you hike? Fish? Paddle? Turn over logs? Stare at the sky?

Students are encouraged to use their artistic skills to create an image that shows them "Taking it Outside" in their favorite natural place (prairie, timber, pond, lake, stream, river, marsh - even their backyard or vacant lot). Be sure they show what makes the place special for them.

For complete details, check out the Contest Rules.

Winning entries will receive prizes and be used for upcoming promotions and displayed at the DNR building during the Iowa State Fair. Participating schools will be entered into a drawing to receive a grant (total of 4 grants awarded) for a natural resources-based recreation experience at a local outdoor recreation area.

Art Shows

Like art? Like the Loess Hills? Visit the Cultural Center in Moorhead Iowa and enjoy their "Celebrate the Hills" art exhibit between now and October 28th. Bring your parents & friends.

This show includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings by local artists. This year's is one of the biggest shows they've had in years. The participants have captured the spirit of the hills and depict natural landscapes at all times of year.

Start painting, because they have plans to add a youth category next year, so that you'll be able to enter your own artworks in the exhibit.

In the Spring, the Center features a Prose, Poetry & Photography Competition. They'd love to have you visit, and to participate!

Last Spring, Boyer Valley English teacher Kris Johnson helped judge the poetry & photography show and last month, BV Art teacher Ted Mallory adjudicated the 2013 art show. See what he considered prize worthy and cast your own vote for the "people's choice awards."
