BA (Hons) Illustration - Level 06 OUIL603 Extended Practice BRIEF TITLE Wildlife Artist of the Year Brief Entries must correspond to one of the seven categories Animal Behavior: Showing a real understanding of animal behavior, a sense of character, maybe something the judges may not have seen before. Urban Wildlife: Entries can be in an urban style or depict the city life of animals and plants. Judges will be looking for both originality in the habitat as well as the contrast between wild and urban life. Hidden World: A celebration of remote and rarely observed or lesser known landscapes and species. Wings, Feathered or Otherwise: The extraordinary variety of winged wildlife – birds and insects, in flight or at rest. Into the Blue: Illustrate the wonderful world of water, be it ocean, seashore, wetland, river or stream. Vanishing Fast: Our vanishing world – it can be any species officially listed as endangered or threatened on the IUCN Red List – or any landscape that is at risk. Earth’s Beautiful Creatures: The choice is yours! As in all categories the judges are looking for not only beautifully executed original artworks but also imaginative interpretation, moving away from the purely photographic to compositions with great characterization, showing imagination, originality and genuine creativity. All categories cover mediums including sculpture and original prints*. * An original print is a print either in black or in colour, drawn from one or several plates, conceived and executed entirely by hand by the same artist, regardless of the technique employed, with the exclusion of any and all mechanical, digital or photomechanical processes. Every stage has been completed by hand by the artist. Product
