On Monday morning, 4-H Non-original Visual Arts and 4-H Visual Arts and general 4-H projects judging took place with hundreds of outstanding entries for judges to consider. The entries are made from various media and may be original or non-original. To create their artwork, the young artists may use media such as paper, clay, fiber, wood, chalk/carbon/pigment, glass/plastic, metal and nature. Original arts are designs created entirely by the exhibitor, while non-original arts are made from either kits, pre-printed designs, or pre- molded pieces. The artwork is judged for its craftsmanship, originality, and creativity, though these areas are only a small portion of the total score. 4-H members must also have a general knowledge of various art concepts and be able to provide judges with a detailed explanation of their project. Some of the general projects include floriculture, vegetable gardening, environmental science, leadership, natural resources and robotics. Judges say they consider how well 4-H members explain their project goals, their reasons for choosing the project, their decisions, and their results, as well as providing a self-evaluation of what they could have done differently. 4-H MONDAY, JULY 29, 2019 General projects, visual and non-visual arts spur youth in creativity and dedication CONTINUE By Angela Reiners
