My budding artist

Each year Illaroo Road has its own version of the Archibald called the Irpsibald Awards. This involves each child making a portrait. This can be through any art medium eg painting, collage, sketching etc. Tasha did her portrait through a collage format this year and today was presented with FIRST PRIZE! The competition was judged by the curator of the local art gallery so this was a great achievement for her. She has her portrait on display in the school office. She was also presented today with a special laminted poster with a print of her portrait and First Prize on it. She also got an art pack which includes a large canvas, set of paintbrushes and acrylic paints. Tasha now has the opportunit to use this art pack to paint her canvas and then this can be handed over to the local art gallery for entry in a district school competition.

Very proud mum and dad here!
