children aged 4 to 7 years

January - June 2002

Rules

- Article 1: The drawings will be done on A3 size sheets (29,7 cm ´  42 cm, 11.7 in ´  16.5 in).

This format is needed to be able to scan or photocopy the artwork.

- Article 2: All possible techniques can be used to do the drawings, separately or mixed: coloured felt pens, paint, colour pencils, thin pasted cut-outs. However, it is recommended to use as support paper that is 200 g per m² for strength and ease of doing the artwork.

- Article 3: The number of drawings is six per group and per age group (4-5 year olds, 6-7 year olds). Each drawing will illustrate one or several of the 6 themes (see previous page).

- Article 4: The six drawings will form a story (comic strip, fresco, poster). On the back of each drawing will be included a number and a short explanation (20 words maximum), written clearly, to indicate the way to read and to present the story.
