Art Contests for Kids
Art contests for kids offer great life lessons:* Every contest has guidelines and a deadline, which gives a child a specific goal to work toward. * The process of creating the artwork itself builds self-confidence, as the child goes from an "I can't draw" mindset to one of "I can enter this contest -- and I might win!" * The art children enter should be their best work (it doesn't matter the skill level), teaching them that no matter what they do, they should do it well. * If they win, there's the fun of the reward and learning to be a gracious winner. * If they don't win, there's the practice of dealing with disappointment and being a good sport. * Win or lose, when your child creates a piece of art and enters it in a contest, she has tried, which is the first step to success. There are opportunities for children to enter art contests, and as I come across them I'll post them here.
