F i b e r A r t s

Use a pattern or engineer your own unique design to weave, stitch or knot a crafty creation! The term fiber art came into use by curators and art historians to describe the work of the artist-craftsmen following World War II. Those years saw a sharp increase in the design and production of “art fabric.”

Fiber art refers to fine art whose material consists of natural or synthetic fiber and other components, such as fabric or yarn. It focuses on the materials and manual labor of the artist as part of the work’s significance, and prioritizes aesthetic value over utility.

Rules and Guidelines

1. Judges are looking for originality and creativity, workmanship, technique and level of difficulty.

2. Original designs and upcycling are encouraged.3. Work should be able to wear as functional clothing.4. Provide a photo of yourself or someone else wearing your

garment(s)

Sew a garment or fashion accessory out of unusual materials. The fashion industry is a product of the modern age. Prior to the mid-19th century, most clothing was custom-made. It was handmade for individuals, either as home production or on order from dressmakers and tailors.

Create using a commercial pattern, engineer your own design, or use a combination of the two. Use your imagination to transform unusual materials into a wearable piece of clothing. Fabric can be used as long as it is not the dominate material. Assemble your work by using a sewing machine, hand-stitch, or glue to create something unique and fun to wear. Make sure the garment is constructed well and can be worn!

Reuse, reduce and re-create! Upcycling, also known as creative reuse, is the process of converting old or discarded materials into something useful. Sort through your closets, recycling bins, or hit the yard sales and create something beautiful or useful!

Did you know? Upcycling is a way of life for people in developing countries. Raw materials are expensive so people use what they have on hand to create what they need. (For upcycled clothing please see Fashionista! on page 6)

Make a 3-D object, sculpture or wall art from wood or metal.Historically, woodworkers relied upon the woods native to their region, until transportation and trade innovations made more exotic woods available to the craftsman. Woods are typically sorted into three basic types: hardwoods typified by tight grain and derived from broadleaf trees, softwoods from coniferous trees, and man-made materials such as plywood and MDF. Metalworking is a science, art, hobby, industry and trade. Its historical roots span cultures, civilizations and millennia.

Using these ancient building materials and skills; carve, cut, hammer, weld, glue and saw to create an art piece made out of wood, metal, or both!

Create a virtual world or work of art using any computer and digital software. On the title page of the magazine Computers and Automation, January 1963, Edmund Berkeley published a picture by Efraim Arazi from 1962, coining the term “computer art.” By the mid-1960s, most individuals involved in the creation of computer art were, in fact, engineers and scientists because they had access to the only computing resources available at university scientific research labs.

Computer art is any art in which computers and software play a role in production or display of the artwork. Create a 2-D or 3-D still image which will be displayed as a looping sideshow on a monitor.

From a still life to abstract, use mark-making to expresses yourself!Drawing is one of the oldest forms of human expression, with evidence for its existence preceding that of written communication. Drawing is a form of visual art in which a person uses various instruments to mark paper or any other 2-D medium. Instruments include graphite pencils, pen and ink, inked brushes, wax color pencils, crayons, charcoal, chalk, pastels, various kinds of erasers, markers, styluses, and various metals (such as silverpoint).

Create an original painting to hang in our gallery!The oldest known paintings are at the Grotte Chauvet in France, which some historians believe are about 32,000 years old. They are engraved and painted using red ochre and black pigment, and they show horses, rhinoceros, lions, buffalo, mammoth, abstract designs and what are possibly partial human figures.

Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (support base). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges and airbrushes, can be used. Express yourself with the many styles of painting from realism to abstract.

Photographic art can inspire!The word “photography” was created from the Greek roots (phōtos), genitive of (phōs), “light” and (graphé) “representation by means of lines” or “drawing,” together meaning “drawing with light.”

Since photography was first invented in the 1800’s, and now with the advancement of digital photography since 1981, it’s easy for anyone to capture the world around them using digital cameras and cell phones. Show us what inspires you! If you shoot with film that is okay!

“A picture is worth a thousand words” refers to the notion that a complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image.

Write and illustrate your original Haiku poem about the wonders of nature.Poetry means “I Create” in Ancient Greek. It is an art form that predates literacy and was used as a form of recording oral history, storytelling, law and other forms of expression or knowledge. Some writers believe that poetry has its origins in song.

Haiku are short three-line poems with a 5-7-5 syllable structure that use sensory language to capture a feeling or image.

Write a Haiku poem and illustrate it with a drawing, painting, collage, computer art or photo.

Create your favorite farm animal or design a new hybrid critter! Farming originated independently in different parts of the world as hunter-gatherer societies transitioned to food production rather than food capture. It may have started about 12,000 years ago with the domestication of livestock.

Craft a farm animal or insect using any craft or recycled/re-purposed materials.

Mobiles (wind power)Kinetic art is a term that, today, most often refers to 3-D sculptures and figures, such as mobiles, that move natural-ly or are machine operated. The moving parts are generally powered by wind, a motor, or the observer. Kinetic art encompasses a wide variety of overlapping techniques and styles.

Use any material to make a hanging mobile powered by the wind.

Also known as additive manufacturing (AM).The creation of a 3-D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process, an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the object is formed. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced, horizontal cross-section of the eventual object. It is used to prototype inventions, create parts for broken items and make art.

Use any CAD software to create your original 3-D model to then print out on a 3-D printer for display.
