There are six categories, each with a different theme:
Category A Nursery: Let’s Play!

Category C Primary 4-7: Scary Creatures and Creepy Things
Category D S1-S2: See It, Frame It, Draw It
Category E Special Education Schools: Water, Water Everywhere

Pupils are asked to view a small selection of artworks online. Teaching notes and lots of discussion ideas are provided with links made to Curriculum for Excellence. Suitably inspired, everyone can then make their own artwork.

Closing date: Friday 3 May 2013.

An award ceremony will be held at the Scottish National Gallery on Friday 14 June 2013 with prizes for individuals, classes and school art departments. The 53 winning works will be on public display at the National Galleries of Scotland from June and will then travel to others venues in Scotland until May 2014.
