Art Contest Designed to Promote Our Hobby

by Adren Hance
 
Imagine several hundred 11, 12, and 13 year olds sitting and staring at your prized British car for 2 hours!  As they gaze at the spectacular flowing lines of your automotive art, you can see each of them pretending to drive a twisty lane while shifting and smiling.  This may sound like fantasy but it is a fact.

Our club sponsored an Art Contest at East Naples Middle School this past month.  With the direction of Jennifer Heck, the Art teacher at the school, the students (6th, 7th, & 8th graders)  used our LBCs as their 'Still Life' projects. The students did a pencil sketch and then colored their work the while seeing our cars on display twice at the school. 

Club members brought 5 LBCs for the student to study and sketch. There were 3 MGB's, a MGB GT, a TR 6, and a TVR. One member, along with their MGB, brought out their '65 Mustang. There were a lot of students that wished they were in Art class that day.

The student’s work will be judged and winners for each grade level (3 total) will receive a $50.00 gift certificate to use at our the local mall.  All honorable mentions and overall winning artworks will be featured in a set of Holiday Greeting cards or note cards that will our club will be selling - all proceeds will be used to benefit future Art Contests! 

Anyone interested may see the student's art work and would like to  purchase a set of cards (1 dozen cards per set) may view them on-line at our club’s website www.BCCSWF.com.  To order a set, email Adren Hance at: HanceA@comcast.net  Prices will be approximately $15.00 per set (plus S/H).

Students study the MGB GT closely as they draw what they hope is the winning Art work.


This MGB was one of 5 LBCs that the students from E. Naples Middle School had a chance to study and draw as the Art teacher and BCCSWF worked together to add some fun to the "Still life" part of art.

 

Most students did not know what a TVR was until they had to sit and draw it's beautiful lines in Art class.
