Please take a
moment to review the following guidelines:
-
Age
range: The gallery
accepts pictures made by children up to 12 years of age. This
applies to the age of the child when the picture was created,
not their current age.
-
Color
/ black and white: We do not accept black and
white or single-color drawings, except by artists under 3 years
of age. If the artist is age 3 or older, please send multicolor
or finely-shaded B&W sketches only.
-
Originality:
We prefer artwork based on original ideas rather than copied
from an existing source.
-
Number
of pictures: Please
send no more than one picture per artist per month, and no more
than a few pictures (from different artists) at one time.
Priority is given to first-time contributors - additional
pictures sent by the same artist may be added to future pages as
space and time permits.
-
Teachers:
If you are a teacher you may let your students know
about the gallery but please do not send pictures directly.
As we try to represent a variety of locales and styles on
each page - if we receive a batch of several pictures from one
location, we may have to leave out or delay some, and do not
wish to disappoint your students. Also, we prefer pictures that
have come about through the child's own initiative, rather than
assigned by a teacher or art instructor.
-
Content:
As we have many young children viewing the site,
pictures with violent or frightening imagery or that are
otherwise inappropriate for younger children will not be added.
Also, as one of the goals of this gallery is to increase
understanding between people in different cultures, we will not
add pictures that suggest the superiority of one country.
-
Previously
published works: Pictures
that have already appeared in another website or other medium
may be submitted unless the owners of that publication do
not permit pictures to be reproduced elsewhere.
-
Fees
/ picture usage: This
gallery is a free service provided by The
Natural Child Project. We scan, prepare, display and host
accepted pictures at no charge. In exchange, we may use pictures
in the gallery for fundraising products such as prints
and greeting
cards, and for promoting this web site. We occasionally
allow partners to use the pictures in books or other media (with
the artist's names credited), sometimes for a donation, if we
believe the use is for a good purpose.
