Baa... Baa 1000
and the River Bourne Community Farm
Present
a series of
participatory art events
Starting with a drawing competition
"Please, draw me a sheep!”
Following from the success of Laurence
Dubé-Rushby’s Installation,
“A Thousand Sheep”, we invite primary and secondary school children from
age 7 to 18, to take part in a drawing competition to design a logo for a follow-up program of sheep art participatory events, “Baa...Baa...1000”.
The making of the 1000
bundles of red dyed wool by more than 800
volunteers including children from the Clarendon
Junior School, the Wellington Academy and the Godolphin school culminated
in the first hanging of the work at Bridport
Arts Centre during March 2013. The exhibition was highly acclaimed by the public (see photograph above). The piece
will come to Salisbury Arts Centre from the
24th of May to 30th of June for a home coming exhibition. All participants and
their families will be invited to a day
of celebration with workshops,
picnic and sheep related activities!
Note to Teachers; It’s easy to enter so don’t miss out!
To
register children from your class, just fill in this form and email back to
Laurence on info@laurencerushbyart.co.uk. Registration deadline; 18th of April.
Format; A6/
postcard size white or black
card or paper cut neatly.
The
children are invited to draw a sheep or
a flock of sheep, that would best represent Laurence‘s art project. They
can get inspiration from the photographs on this form or by researching sheep
photos online. They can also visit Laurence’s project blog for an overview of
the project. http://athousandsheep.blogspot.co.uk
(The
text will be added at the end so should not appear on the drawing)
Time; the drawings can be done in 15
minutes at beginning of the class as they should not be elaborate but
rather spontaneous and fun. The
drawings will be judged on originality,
relevance to the project and cuteness so no need to worry about the age range
of the participants.
Entry deadline: Please send your entries by post to Baa..Baa...1000, c/o River Bourne Community Farm, Cow Lane, Laverstock,
SP1 2SR, or drop them there in an envelope
by May 1st.

(names to be confirmed) will select a winner from each category; primary and
secondary. Display; All entries will be displayed
during the Picnic Launch event of
“ A Thousand
Sheep” exhibition, in the Salisbury Arts centre grounds,
June
1st, 11.30am to 2.00pm, as part of the Ageas
Salisbury International Arts
Festival

£15 voucher each for our Salisbury art material supplier “The Compleat Artist”. They will also

printed on as a logo. The T- shirts will be for sale at low cost during the

project).
