- NO actual 3D artwork will be displayed. A photograph of the piece will be matted and framed.
- All 2D artwork and photographs of 3D artwork will get matted professionally, and inserted into IAEA frames to be viewed at the Conference @ the Q Center, November 10, 11 & 12, 2022.
- You and your student will be recognized at the 2022 IAEA Conference Statewide Student Art Show Ceremony & Reception:
- In-Person @ the Q Center, St. Charles, IL on Saturday, November 12, 2022
- The framed pieces will travel to locations throughout Illinois.
- A slide show will be created and located on the IAEA Website.
Judging the show:
- 45 student artworks will be chosen by the judges.
- Our judges look for work that demonstrates creativity, originality, craftsmanship, personality/voice, and communicates an idea.
- Our judging is digital and blind regarding the artists’ identity.
- Please make sure that your images do not have any identifying information on them
- Only the medium and grade level is known to the judges
Submitting:
- Select up to 10 of your students’ 2D artworks & 3D/sculptural works.
- Only photographs of 3D work will be accepted, not the original piece for safety sake.
- Artworks may not be thicker than ¾” and all student artwork and/or photographs of 3D work must fit into an 18” x 24” metal frame.
- The submission form allows for the submission of 10 images at one time, so you only need to submit 1 form with your information, and because each image will be labeled, you will not need to repeat information into the form… uploading the image will do it!
- Labeling instructions are listed below.
- Good images… a really good/publication ready photo of each piece is needed, cropped and ready for the slide show! This image, if chosen, will go straight onto the website, into the slide show, into the Conference program, and onto special surprises we have in store for you and your student artist, so this is really important!
- I’m sure you and your students have worked out how they upload artwork to you every week through different platforms, and one silver lining during this COVID Pandemic school year, is that they’re probably getting really good at photographing their artwork!!!
We’re trying to make submitting to the show as easy as possible, so I found these 3 YouTube videos in an effort to help where we can … just click on each image.
-
-
- Label EACH image with the following information IN THIS ORDER, please:

- Our mission is to advocate for Art Teachers teaching Art Curriculum in all Illinois Schools K-12.
- Our intent is to showcase as many different art teachers and their students as possible from K-12 with works that exemplify best practice throughout the state.
- Therefore, if chosen, you will only be chosen once.
- If you handle all of the submissions for your Art Department or District, please make sure that each teacher’s name is associated with the correct student’s name & that each member you are submitting for is a member of IAEA.
Advocating for The Arts: The Traveling IAEA Student Art Show:
- Your student’s piece will travel to locations throughout the state of Illinois in a slide show from November 2022- August of 2023.
Questions? Email Susan Tiemstra @ [email protected] or text to 1-630-732-5718
You may submit photographs of 3D Student Artwork as part of your submission of “Up to 10 Pieces of Student Artwork” for the Student Art Show!
These Photographs of 3D pieces must follow
the same guidelines
as any of the 2D artworks you submit
TIPS and image examples for submitting a good photograph of your students’ 3D work are provided by IAEA Member, Dawn Zalkus.
- Choose the best single point of view of your 3D object. Do not composite multiple points of view
- Shoot on a neutral background: white, black, grey or a gradient.
- Look for a contrast between the art object and the background.
-
- If within your budget purchasing a small light tent is helpful (around $100, like this(https://www.amazon.com/Fovitec-StudioPRO-Portable-Photography-Lighting/dp/B00TADBN54?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_13)). The tent helps cut down the glare associated with glazed ceramic or shiny works.
- Consider asking your theater department or video department to shoot against their curtains.
- Larger pieces may need to be taken to an outdoor seating such as in nature, against an industrial looking wall or even on a flat cement floor like in the instance of the panther.
If you have any questions, please email Susan Tiemstra @ [email protected]
