Artists
of all ages were invited to submit works in any medium. For
inspiration, they were asked to visit the website
www.bloodhoundssc.com
which features news and videos about the British BLOODHOUND SCC
team’s attempt to set a new land speed record on Hakskeenpan in the
Mier Municipality of the Northern Cape.
A
selection of the best entries received will be on display at WHAG
until Friday 15 November.
The
art competition was only open to residents of the Northern Cape.
However, Dave Rowley, BLOODHOUND SCC education director in South
Africa hopes that it could become a national initiative promoted by
galleries countrywide. “We want to inspire young people across the
country through this record-breaking initiative to become passionate
about science and engineering, and an art competition such as this is
just one way of doing so,” says Rowley.
According to Anne-Marie de Kock, a teacher at Delportshoop High School, it was an inspirational experience for her learners to have taken part in such a themed art competition. More than 20 entries from the school were selected for the exhibition and, in all, they received two first prizes and a commendation prize.

“Many
of our learners cannot really express themselves on paper because
they cannot yet write or read that well, but through the medium of
art they are able to express their emotions,” she explains.
Delportshoop
is about 70km from Kimberley. De Kock will be taking learners whose
work is being exhibited at WHAG to see the exhibition on Friday. For
many, it will be a first visit to Kimberley.
