Antona Šibleja-Stjenka Komen Elementary School and Dutovlje Elementary School in co-operation
with The Fine Arts Teachers' Society of the Primorje Region
is organizing
the 5th International Biennial Art Contest
titled
»On Fabiani's path«
Students from all elementary and secondary schools in Slovenia and abroad are invited to
participate sending an art work in the area of Spatial and Architectural Design. The art work can be
represented in many forms such as drawings, paintings, prints, models or photographs.
The competition is divided into three categories:
1. PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST: »Max Fabiani, Creator of Space«. Pupils and students
who live near Max Fabiani's works are to look for and learn to recognize his work:
buildings, squares, urban solutions. Then they are to be represented through the
photographic lens.
2. ART CONTEST UNDER THE THEME: “REMODELLING AN AREA OF AN URBAN
SPACE - My Place, Our Common Space«. Pupils and students are to critically assess
their own urban surroundings and suggest solutions by transforming their actual space.
Ideas may be represented through the aid of the computer, photographs or other art media
and techniques. By transforming and remodelling their area they may include new and
different kinds of buildings, erase or redesign actual buildings, change colours, etc. Such
changes may occur as long as historical and/or cultural heritage is considered and/or
historical buildings are respected.
3. ART CONTEST UNDER THE THEME SPATIAL DESIGN: »Architect of My Own
Space«. Pupils and students may solve any artistic task designing an architectonic object on
a chosen theme or motif. This art work may be 2-dimensional (drawings, paintings, prints,
photographs) or 3-dimentional (models).
It is desirable that art works are delivered in original form. In case of larger pieces that cannot be
carried or sent you can send the photographs of them.
Each piece of work must include the following data: pupil's or student's name, surname, age, grade,
title of art work, assigned task, his/her art teacher's name and surname, teacher's e-mail and name
and address of the school.
Each school may send up to 10 pieces. There is no restriction on the dimensions of the art works.
All those who decide to participate should agree that if their work is awarded they will permit their
work to be exhibited and published in a catalogue as well as mentioned in the exhibition's web
page.
Pieces may be sent up to June 1st, 2012 to the following address: Društvo likovnih pedagogov
Primorja, Štanjel 24, 6222 Štanjel, SLOVENIA - „On Fabiani’s path”
After June 1st, pieces will be reviewed and judged by a committee made up of art teachers and a
representative of the Faculty of Education, department of Art Education. Awards will be given to
three (3) collections of art works (all the works from a school) and to ten (10) individual pieces.
Pupils and students whose pieces will be exhibited and their mentors (art teachers) receive their
awards at the opening of the exhibition, which will take place at Štanjel Castle in the fall of 2012.
The Art Teachers' Society will have the catalogue available at the exhibition and all those involved
will receive one.
Any further information can be obtained from Vlasta Markočič and Tanja Samec who are leading
