When the YMAA committee look at the quality and diversity of the entries, President John Proudlock is sure all will agree and applaud all of the art pieces on display.
The internet tells that art is a combination of 75% imagination and 25% skill and whilst John is not sure of that analogy, he can see the wonderful imagination and high skill levels demonstrated by these children and young adults.
Congratulations and well done to all participants. The art association are sure the judges mulled over and had sleepless nights trying to select the best pieces and the worthy winners of this competition.
