Ag in the Classroom Update

 

By Lauren Goble, Georgia Farm Bureau

Agriculture makes a great subject for art, which the winners of the 2023 Georgia Farm Bureau Middle School and High School Ag in the Classroom Art Contests prove. 

Roseanna E. Bennett of Pierce County sketched the drawing of a beef cow with her newborn calf and pine trees and row crops that won first-place in the high school art contest. Olivia Durden of Dodge County was named the state runner-up for her drawing of a girl holding a chicken. 

Bennett won $250 as the state high school art contest winner and $100 as the 政府保安局第十区rict winner. Durden won $150 for being the runner-up and $100 for being the 政府保安局第六区rict winner.

Payton Furman of 烹饪。 County won state honors in the middle school bookmark contest for colorfully depicting the variety of Georgia agriculture. Furman received $150 for winning the state middle school bookmark contest and $100 as the 政府保安局第十区rict winner.

This marks the 29th year GFB has held its annual art contest for ninth through twelfth-grade students. This is the second year GFB coordinated a contest for sixth through eighth graders to design a bookmark.

“Georgia Farm Bureau’s Ag in the Classroom Art Contests encourage students to explore agriculture and then create a piece of art inspired by what they learned,” said GFB President Tom McCall. “Students who might not otherwise think about agriculture learn about the variety of crops and livestock Georgia farmers raise as they create their drawings.”

GFB received entries for its high school art contest from 62 county Farm Bureaus and entries from 75 county Farm Bureaus for its middle school art contest. GFB district winners for each contest were picked from all county entries submitted from each district.

GFB posted the district winners’ artwork for each contest on its 脸谱网 page to allow Georgia’s ag community to select the state winners of each contest. 

Contestants in the high school contest were instructed to create a black, white and gray drawing using graphite, 木炭, 柔和的, 粉笔, 彩色铅笔, ballpoint pen or mixed media appropriate for printing. Drawings were judged on how well the artwork represents agriculture in the student’s county or Georgia and for artistic merit. 

The middle school contestants were given a blank bookmark and asked to create a design illustrating Georgia agriculture.
