What do the arts festival judges say about Body Electric?
JUDGING COMMENTS – 2005 Arts project quality indicators are measured by evaluations of judges who view or read student arts-prevention projects and provide feedback at the biennial festivals. Students are made aware, before they begin working on their project, of the ten areas making up the judging criteria. Along with guidelines for best practices in prevention, the judging criteria also list areas that appraise the effectiveness of the arts media choice and execution. These points include appropriateness of materials for the target audience, creativity, tourability, inventiveness and expression. An average of thirty-five judges have participated each year (1999, 2001, 2003, 2005). The following are selected 2005 quotes from among hundreds that have been written at each of the five festivals: I was very impressed with both the quality of the work and that of the artist statements. A very sensitive, thoughtful group of young people. – Max Jaeger, Retired teacher, Exchange Club Presiden
