STUDENT WINNERS OF TWELFTH
ANNUAL CRAY-PAS©
OIL PASTEL CONTEST
U.S. and Canadian elementary school students participated in the twelfth annual
"The Wonderful, Colorful World of Cray-Pas? 2007 Contest". Art teachers eagerly
anticipated the results announced today by Sakura Color Products of America,
Inc. (Sakura). Sakura encourages art teachers in three grade categories;
Kindergarten -
Second, Third - Fifth, and Sixth - Eighth, to have students create and submit
artwork using its Cray-Pas? oil pastels for contest judging. The entries ranged
from self-portraits, family life, to favorite animal illustrations. For
the first time a representative of the Oil Pastel Society was among the
professional artists and art educators that participated in the six member
judging panel. The winner's pictures, including the one hundred and fifty
finalists, will be on display at the Hayward Area Forum of the Arts Sun Gallery
from February 8th to May 25th, 2007. The finalist's artwork is posted on
Sakura's online art gallery at:
