Art
Members may enter up to three classes in Original Art
and up to three classes in Non-Original Art, no more
than one entry per class number. Art has two
divisions based on whether the entry is entirely origi-
nal or includes components that have been designed
or created by others. In both divisions, the member
will be expected to create their work by applying the
elements and principles of design.
Artwork may not be framed with the exception of
work done with chalks, charcoals, or pastels. If work
done with chalks, charcoals or pastels is framed, light
weight frames with plastic rather than glass should be
used for protection during display. No glass is allowed.
Artwork is to be mounted for display, including
jewelry. All jewelry exhibits must be mounted in some
way to a board or fabric covered board for display.
Backing or mounting of artwork is strongly encour-
aged, if appropriate. Matting, spray fixatives and /or
PAGE 70 H GRANT COUNTY FAIR H 2017
over wrap with plastic are acceptable for protection of
the artwork. If an item is meant to hang, a hanger that
will support the weight of the item must be securely
attached. Adhesive plastic hangers are encouraged to
protect other artwork. They may be available through
county Extension offices.
All items made from clay (except modeling clay)
must be exhibited in the Ceramics and Pottery
division.
All work done on an item that is wearable clothing
or accessory must be exhibited in a Wearable Art
category.
Exhibits should not contain parts that expose the pub-
lic or volunteers to injury (i.e. sharp edges or points).
Exhibits are entered and displayed at the risk of the
exhibitors, see rule 12 under General 4-H Information
- Eligibility.
In addition to the exhibit tag, each piece of an
exhibit must be labeled on the back or bottom
with the member’s name, county, and exhibit
class number. Exhibits that have more than one
piece need to be tied together or connected together
in some way so the pieces can be considered as one
exhibit.
To qualify for judging, a fully completed 4-H Art Ex-
hibit Explanation Card (new 2014) must be attached.
Forms are available at the county extension office and
on the State 4-H website http://oregon.4h.oregonstate.
