Global Art competition winners to compete internationally
Over 100 children participated in one of the largest national art competitions in the Kingdom at the Global Art Al-Falah Center in Riyadh on Saturday.
Children aged between 3-15 years old from Global Art branches in Riyadh, Jeddah and Yanbu participated in the competition.
Twelve winners were announced and rewarded with a trophy and a month of free training at the center.
The national winners will be competing alongside children from other Global Art branches around the world on Dec. 4 at Global Art Malaysia.
Samar Al-Maghrabi, CEO of Global Art Center, Riyadh, said: “We are pleased to organize the national competition for the third time in the Kingdom that is accessible to all including children with special needs. The aim of the competition was to enhance the quality of students’ creativity and create a great experience for them, which can help … them believe in their skills and encourage their self-confidence.”
Participants were evaluated on the basis of their skills in the techniques taught during the three weeks of intensive training at the Global Art Center’s various branches.
Fatima Al-Awad, owner of the Global Art Center in Yanbu, said: “We had an intensive program to train students in the basic skills that are taken into account in the criteria for selecting winners. The students were ranked according to our main categories: junior, foundation students and basic stages.”
The students regularly attended the classes to review lessons and go over the details of the competition, including what they planned to draw.
