Register for Doodle 4 Google by March 24
Doodle 4 Google is a competition for U.S. K-12 students to work their artistic will upon Google's homepage logo around the theme, "If I Could Do Anything, I Would ..."
This year, a group of well-known illustrators, cartoonists and animators from organizations like The Sesame Street Workshop, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates and Peanuts and Pixar Animation Studios, will be helping select the 40 finalist doodles. The national winner will receive a $15,000 college scholarship.
Teachers must register their schools by March 24, and submit artists' pieces by March 31.
Artemya teacher submissions due Friday
The Western Michigan University Frostic School of Art proudly welcomes submissions from 2D and 3D artists who reside in Michigan and teach art. Artemya is an acronym for Art Representing (K-12) Teachers Educating Michigan's Young Artists and was conceived as a way to celebrate and honor the teachers who prepare their students to study art at the college level.
Applicants must be current full-time or part-time art teachers teaching grades K-12 working at any school in Michigan. Submissions must be emailed by Friday, May 19. Winning pieces will be exhibited during the Michigan Youth Arts Festival, with an opening reception May 14. For application guidelines contact Bill Davis at william.davis@wmich.edu.
