The BIC Picture
BiC®Kids launches nationwide art competition
Calling all budding artists – a chance to win an exclusive art masterclass
with professional artist James Mylne plus loads of BIC®Kids goodies
BiC®Kids has launched a nationwide competition to keep kids entertained over the
summer holidays. The competition, which will run until 20 August 2010, will
search out some of the most promising talent by asking them to draw their vision
of ‘Life in the Future.’
If parents are struggling for summer activities or need an hour of peace while
packing for the holidays The BiC Picture is a great way to keep children
creative and help them express their artistic nature.
The competition entries will be judged by Anna Williamson, presenter of popular
children’s TV show Toonattik, artist James Mylne who recently recreated The Girl
With A Pearl Earring using a BiC®Cristal pen, and BiC’s Professor of Colour,
Cécile Parenton. All entries will be judged by age group and winners will be
selected on originality, creativity, colour and technical ability.
Anna Williamson, Toonattik presenter said: “I’m really looking forward to seeing
what children really think ‘Life in the Future’ will look like. I’m sure there
will be some fascinating entries of imaginative worlds.”
The winner of each age group will win a BiC backpack of goodies plus £150 worth
of BiC products for their school. One overall winner will be chosen who will
receive the prizes above and an art masterclass with James Mylne in London
(accompanied by one friend and parent/guardian).
BiC®Kids are committed to supporting and developing young talent, through
products that are both practical for parents, but fun for a child to enjoy
using. The BiC® Kids range of colouring products has a variety of felt tips,
pencils, crayons, all of which are can withstand even the most enthusiastic of
users. Developed with young hands in mind, the products are ultra resistant to
both children and the elements.
James Mylne, professional artist added: “I’ve been using BiC products to create
art since I was 16 so it’s great to see BiC®Kids providing products for such a
young age and offering them the opportunity to put their artistic talent to good
use. My masterclass will teach the overall winner even more about using everyday
colouring materials to create exciting work and help to foster their budding
talent.”
Cécile Parenton, BiC’s Professor of Colour said: “Children use colour in
different ways to create artistic work. What we’re looking for with this
competition is clever use of colour to portray a creative idea. From bright
blocks to scribbles and shadings, colour is a way to make images come alive.”
There are two ways to enter the competition, either through participating
schools or with parent/guardian consent. To enter simply draw a picture with the
