Savannah Technical College is now accepting entries for the 17th annual Manufacturing Appreciation Week (MAW) student design competition. The competition is open to all elementary, middle and high school students in Georgia.

The MAW Student Design Contest is held annually in conjunction with Manufacturers’ Appreciation Week and is designed to promote awareness of the important role manufacturing plays in the economy of the State of Georgia for elementary to high school students statewide.

Manufacturing is the process of creating physical objects that will be used by someone or used to build something else. Manufacturing provides jobs for approximately 408,427 Georgians. The nearly 9,000 manufacturing facilities in Georgia are devoted to making products as diverse as textiles to automotive parts. Students should consider products made in their hometowns, counties or statewide to include Georgia products in their designs to illustrate the role that manufacturing plays in our community. Art for placemats and posters should portray manufacturing specific to the student’s local area, while T-shirt designs should depict manufacturing taking place in the entire state.

Elementary school children may compete in the placemat competition; middle school students compete in the poster contest and high school students participate in the T-shirt design competition. The artwork submitted to Savannah Tech will be entered in the statewide competition where three winners will be chosen in each of the groups. The first, second and third place in each category will be honored at the Governor’s Awards Luncheon in April 2013. The first-place winners receive monetary scholarships for $500. The second-place winners receive $300 scholarships and the third place winners receive $100 scholarships. The top entries for placemat, poster and T-shirt designs will be displayed at the luncheon.

Entries must comply with the guidelines established by the Technical College System of Georgia. Elementary school placemat designs must be 11”x 17”; middle school posters must be created on 22” x 28” poster board and high school T-shirt designs must fit in a 12” square. Art may be computer-generated or created with paint, watercolors, pencils, markers, crayons, charcoal, etc. but should be completely dry before shipping/delivery. All work must be flat and 3-D objects cannot be glued or pasted to submissions. Please note that designs will not be returned to contestants.

Entries must be labeled on the back, upper-right corner of each submission with the student’s name, school, school phone number and the words, “Savannah Technical College.”

Artwork must be received by the STC Marketing and Communications Office at the Savannah Campus by Friday, January 25, 2013 for consideration. Mail or deliver entries to: Savannah Technical College, 5717 White Bluff Road, Savannah, GA 31405, Attention: Office of Marketing and Communications. Entries may also be delivered to the Effingham Campus (2890 Hwy 21 South, Rincon, GA 31326) or Liberty Campus (100 Technology Drive, Hinesville, GA 31313).

We love kids’ art birthday parties at Scribble Art Studio in Savannah.

My son just had his 6th BD party at the studio, a Willy-Wonka themed art party that Scribble artists Carrie Christian and Tara Garrigan made into a smashing success. The best part of Scribble’s art birthday parties is kids get so much out of them. You leave with armfuls of creations that kids can hang on their walls, continue to paint or draw on, or in our case, hang on our Christmas trees. These creations prompt memories and discussion about the party long after the balloons have deflated.

Scribble’s artists never stop teaching during the party. They are zipping back & forth bringing in the new project & cleaning up the finished ones, but also are able to stop and answer a child’s question about how to do something or they just pause patiently, with cupcake clean-up in hand, and offer a child a tip on how to improve on the task at hand.

I merely gave Carrie the party theme. She & Tara took that theme and created a Willy Wonka painting for all the kids to complete; adorable cupcake and lollipop name tags for the kids to decorate & complete; and lively candy hunt. They hung oversized pretend candies and lollipops from the studio ceiling and had an ornament-making playdough session, which kids were able to decorate then bake at home. In between, the kids had cupcakes and sang happy birthday and drew on a huge canvas on the floor.

Here’s an added perk: Scribble handles all the set-up & clean-up. All you need to do is find the perfect spot at home to put all those cute creations and find time in your kids’ schedules to sign them up for Scribble art classes, because you’re going to want to after your Scribble BD party.

Parties include mural, painting, and craft all designed around the birthday boy/girl’s chosen theme.

Parents are responsible for refreshments and paper products, however Scribble Art Studio now offers all inclusive party packages, inquire for details.
