Design Wellacre's Christmas Card
Posted at 8:38 am on 15th October, 2020
2020 Festive Competition
It seems a bit early for thinking about Christmas doesn’t it? However, Wellacre Academy needs a new Christmas Card design and we are inviting students and staff to enter our festive competition!
This is your chance to have your design printed professionally and used by Wellacre to send out to people all across Trafford and beyond.
All designs must be handed to Teacher of Art, Mrs Larsen by the deadline of Friday 6th November and all entries will be judged by Principal, Miss Wicks.
Please see an entry sheet here: Wellacre Christmas Card Design Competition
The design must be on A5 paper (no need to fold, just one flat sheet) and can be digital, drawing, painting or anything else they can think of.
You may use any materials of your choice - it could be paint, pencil crayon, collage, computer design (make sure you are not using any copyrighted material), etc. You could even arrange objects and take a photo. To do this you need to be able to take a good photo!
If you'd like to do some research beforehand it always good to have a look at a few other card designs before you start. This will help you develop your ideas. A great place to start is ‘Etsy Christmas Cards’.
Good luck!
