Students of the Halton District School Board (HDSB) want to take residents on an Art Odyssey tomorrow (Saturday).
The fourth art competition, held at Pine Grove Public School (529 Fourth Line), allows students to showcase their talents in visual arts and helps raise awareness of the importance of art education in schools.
Held from noon to 4 p.m., this year’s competition will feature more than 400 pieces of art from students in Grades 4-8, representing 29 Halton schools (12 of which are from Oakville).
Students’ works are scored by a panel of judges to determine a first, second and third place winner in each of the different categories, divisions and geographical areas.
More than 140 medals will be handed out and 21 pennants will be awarded to schools — pennants are awarded to schools that get enough of a medal count to place first, second or third in its particular division/area.
“The competition exists to help promote visual arts within the community and the school board, and to provide a venue for creative, technical, and design-oriented artists who require a more rigorous process than typically provided within the context of a typical art show,” said Martin Kay, Art Odyssey organizer and art teacher with the HDSB.
