The Christophers

I want to share quick updates on two great contests for high school students sponsored by the Savannah College of Art and Design.

• The Utrecht 6^th Annual Self-Portrait Contest deadline is December 4.  The fabulous prizes are a scholarship to SCAD Summer Seminars (grades 9-11) or a gift card and package (for seniors)!  Please see this website for details:  http://www.utrechtart.com/contest/scad_contest_09.cfm

• Also, SCAD has extended the deadline for the Georgia High School Drawing Competition and the Georgia High School Writing Competition to November 9th at 5:00 p.m.  Find out all the details and submit your students’ work online at this link:  http://www.scad.edu/admission/pre-college/drawing-writing-competitions.cfm

Should be on sale starting 10/30.  Deadline for submissions is 10/26 @2pm. Turn your stuff in to Mrs. Reese in v101.

Comic stories and art should be pg rated (school friendly).

The Flea is going to be one awesome art zine!

The _____ Flea is coming!    As a fund raiser and a way to showcase student work, The Art Club is creating a cool new zine. The first issue is The Technotronic Flea and will be out in October. It will feature student made comic strips that will be serialized. (You have to buy the next issue to see what happens next!) If you know somebody who does their own comic book or strip, have them contact me. All work should be school appropriate. Other types of art are welcome too. We will also have features like – Teacher’s Corner – where a teacher will show you how well they can (or can’t) draw.

The kids are very excited! Please join the staff of The _____ Flea!
Help us pick the next random adjective for next issue’s cover!

Will it be… logical?esoteric?philharmonic?eskimo?random?electric?bionic?robotic?
polytechnic?antidiestablishmentatrian?fortian?freudian?purple?gaseous?
