Wanted: Alaska 4-H Art!

5/15/2020

Project Discipline: Arts
Ages: All ages!!
Difficulty level: Easy
Supplies: White sheet of paper, pencil with eraser & black marker OR your camera!

Today's challenge is to submit an Alaska 4-H themed piece of artwork that others would be able to color, and submit it at the link below. There are two ways to do this: one option is to submit a pdf of a drawing you've done, the other option is to submit a photo, and we will convert it into a coloring page for you!

Before you start, be sure to review the guidelines on the Alaska 4-H Coloring Book Contest Page. All artwork submissions are due by May 25!!

Drawing Option

When you're ready, be sure you have a good clean white sheet of paper and a pencil with an eraser.
Next, think of your topic. It could be inspired by your favorite 4-H project, clover themed, or maybe just show us in a drawing what it looks like where you live!
Draw your picture in pencil first, then over line with black marker, so the lines are nice and clear. Be sure to leave spaces for coloring!

Here are some fun examples!

Photography Option

For this option, you'll submit a .jpg of your favorite Alaska 4-H themed object, and we'll turn it into a coloring sheet for you!

When you're ready, simply get your camera out, find your object of choice and then the hard part - choose just one! Some things to keep in mind:

You need the photo to be in focus, with the main subject relatively centered.
You want the background to be not too busy. If your background is too busy it will result in a coloring page that is confusing.

Here are some fun examples so you can see the different kinds of photos and how they turn out as coloring pages...
