Art in the way of a Boat
The topic for this Traditional Art contest is: ART IN THE WAY OF A BOAT.
[NOTE: Reference a discussion held not too long ago, please notice that this contest is NOT a blind contest.]
Create a Traditional Artwork that somehow incorporates the topic. The artwork should clearly be about the topic. If you decide to enter this contest, you must paint or draw a boat...NOT a ship. A boat is a watercraft of a large range of sizes designed to float, plane, work or travel on water. Small boats are typically found on inland waterways (e.g. rivers and lakes) or in protected coastal areas. The navy's definition of a boat is a vessel small enough to be carried aboard another vessel (a ship). Another less restrictive definition is a vessel that can be lifted out of the water. A ship on the other hand is generally distinguished from boats based on their larger size, shape and cargo or passenger capacity. NO SHIPS for this contest...only boats. There are Canoe-type boats that have been used since prehistoric times and various versions are used throughout the world for transportation, fishing or sport. There are also fishing boats, which vary widely in style partly to match local conditions. Of course, there are pleasure boats, which include ski boats, pontoon boats, and sailboats. And do not let me forget about house boats, which may be used for vacationing or long-term housing. Small boats can provide transport or convey cargo [lightering (lighterage)] to and from large ships. Lifeboats have rescue and safety functions. Boats can be powered by human power (e.g. rowboats), wind power (e.g. sailboats) and motor power (e.g. propeller-driven motorboats driven by gasoline or diesel engines). Now with all this information I provided you, please go forth and be artistically creative (smile).
This is for Traditional Artwork (Pen & ink, pencil, watercolors, charcoal, etc.) only. No photography, digital art or any form of artwork that uses a photograph. This art contest is for all forms of art. That includes pen and ink, pencil, watercolors, charcoal, sculpture, computer art and all other forms of art. No photography.
Deadline: Contest is closed. Deadline was Saturday, May 27, 2017.
