Create art in support of animal welfare

The countdown for the AACL Johannesburg Annual School Art Competition has begun, with just over a month left to enter.

All Gauteng primary school learners are invited to show their support for animal welfare by entering the competition, which will close on October 31.

It is easy and fun to enter:

Draw/paint a picture showing ways in which people are compassionate and kind to animals, care for them and touch their lives in helpful ways.

Remember, it’s not all about a pretty picture, but a picture with a message.

A slogan or title may also help in making your message clear.

You are welcome to use any medium e.g. paint/pastel/ink/crayon etc. on either A2 or A3 paper. Be creative, keep your picture bold, striking and original and have fun.
