One: Observational Art
Observational
art is drawing or painting in a traditional method using
a still life, figure model, portrait or landscape as the
subject and rendering the subject as accurately as
possible. The image should not be taken from a photograph
or the artists' imagination, but from real life. Size of
the artwork should be approximately 18" x 24"
or larger in scale and fill the entire surface of the
paper or canvas. Most work in this category is done in
pencil, charcoal, or other drawing mediums, but it can
also include painting and collage.

Two: Personal Art
Personal
art is the work done outside of a classroom situation and
reflects the artists' unique interests in use of

completed in any media including (but not limited to)
drawing, painting, photography, mixed media,
digital/computer art, film/video, ceramics, sculpture,
animation and performance art.
