Guerrilla Art Contest - Calling all secret agents! (Or you, for that matter!)
Ride to Learn is launching its very first Guerrilla Art contest!
It's simple – 1) Find a worn out shoe that no one is using anymore. 2) Decorate it however you want! 3) Fill it with soil and a plant – flowered and native is best! (If it's winter where you are - how about a little spruce tree?) (Worried about a plant not living in the cold? Be creative! Fill the shoe with something else.) 4) Place your shoe (secretly if you can) in a public place. 5) Leave a note with your shoe asking passersby where they think their shoes come from, and where they think their shoes go when they throw them away. 6) Now you're a secret agent of catalytic change - Welcome to the club!
The competition is based on the Guerrilla Art Adventure activity from Unit 1: Shoes & Sustainability. Check out the project description under Assignments, here.
Next, upload a photo of your shoe to the virtual classroom's Art Gallery under the appropriate category in Guerrilla Art Project. (You can enter in more than one – just post your photo to each category). Include a description with your first name, age, where you're from and a bit about the guerrilla art shoe you made.
The first 20 submissions will be viewed and judged by a panel of artists with three categories in which to win cool stuff – most creative shoe decorations, most creative placement of the shoe, and best/craziest/coolest plant used. There will also be one top winner for best guerrilla art shoe project overall!
Ready? Get going, get creative and get courageous!
