| 2009 Grade School Artwork contest | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Draw pictures employing any medium including
computer: anything that illustrates a scene from Matthew Henson's
life. Maybe you'd like to make a sculpture or Matt? That would be cool! |

| Possible media • Book report • An essay or story • Computer art • Sculpture The most fun I have had with this site over the years is receiving student artwork. I just adore it! With today's abundant computer technology it is no longer necessary to mail me the actual drawings or essays. Simply scan them at your school and send as .jpeg files via email. File Formats Jpeg is best. Don't over compress them though. Try about #6 on a 1 to 10 system, or "medium to high" in other settings. Low is too blurry. Keep file sizes reasonable Web images need to be saved at 72 pixels/inch. An 800 pixel wide image is the maximum I use on these pages. Checklist Scan images or essays, or photograph other media. Make files at 72 pixels/inch Make the size about 1200 pixels wide. This allows me to crop and photo edit into web images. Want to hold a Henson & Peary art or book report contest? Your class can send us artwork, or book reports (you decide winners for us) and we'll make a webpage about the class. The reports and artwork will be permanently published on this site. Please provide a plain text copy of book reports or essays (so we can cut & paste text into a web page). We will award prizes such as books, posters, commemorative Peary coins, and Henson & Peary action figure sets. Please email us and discuss what you want to do.
