FARNEY HALL DRAWING CONTEST

 Anglican children will have the opportunity to focus on the beauty of their faith,
develop their artistic skills, and share their art with each other!

Submission Deadline: March 1, 2023

The 2023 Subject for Artwork:  A Church Building

 

  • Artwork can be of any Christian church building that has existed in the past or that still exists today. It can be a church you’ve seen in pictures or it can be one that you’ve seen with your own eyes!
  • Artwork can show the exterior or the interior of the church building, whichever you’d like (or your teacher assigns!)
  •  If wanted, the artwork can focus on the landscape aspects of the church’s setting (such as a cemetery, fountain, statue, etc, as long as the church features in some part of the work.

OBJECTIVE

The Farney Hall Drawing Contest is designed to accomplish three things: 1) to grow friendships among Anglican children, 2) to focus young artists’ attentions and affections on good and beautiful things that directly relate to their Christian faith, and 3) to encourage young artists to learn, develop and perfect their skills.
