Captions and signatures

Chapter 4

• Drawings which include captions

• How to sign a work

This slideshow will explain the principles you can follow for including captions in your works and for signing them.

We will see:

Works with captions

You have to plan ahead for the writing when starting the painting.

The caption must be part of the painting

The caption must be part of the painting

The caption is part of the painting

The caption itself is a drawing and must be written by the child who did the drawing. You can have fun with the letters and colors.

In a comic, the caption has to fit into the painting.

Signing the piece

The signature: visible and pretty. It’s a part of the painting.

An integral part of the work

Too big of a signature ruins the understanding of a piece.

Here, the information ruins the painting..

Mistakes to avoid

Last name, first name and age suffice. The name of the group and any additional information are on the back of the work.

If there are labels, they must fit into the painting and the font must be carefully chosen.

I’m Kevin and I painted this painting.

I’m Josiane and I painted this painting.

I’m Brigitte and I painted this painting.

I present my work

Showing a work with your name means recognizing that you’re the work’s creator.

Each one of us is unique

Every person has a name by which they are

recognized by the people around them.

Recognizing you

So that we can recognize you out of the 1500 children of Constellation, write your first and last name, as well as your age in smaller type.

On the back put your name and ageagain, and the name of your group and country.
