Foreign Language Art Postcard Contest

Last fall, we participated in the Wisconsin Association for Language Teachers postcard contest.

The theme was Languages: Literacy for Life. The students created postcards to fit this theme and one winning card was chosen to be reproduced in a pack of postcards that was given to all of the association members. The members were encouraged to use the postcards in correspondence to parents or administration. This would be a wonderful idea for arts advocacy!

This is the card that was chosen from our school.

Colorful scribbles and greetings in various languages surround the word "LANGUAGES." Text: "Literacy for Life" reflects a vibrant celebration of learning through Foreign Language.

* If you live in Wisconsin AND have a teacher at your school that belongs to this organization, your students can enter the contest. *

* Maybe you can try something like this with your own students and then reproduce the postcards at a local copy shop. *

Child's drawing with birds and "Literacy for life!" in the center. Borders say "Hello!" in multiple languages.

There were a lot of other really great postcards from our school and here is a sampling of them.

Four colorful posters promoting literacy for life in different languages, each with unique designs and drawings inspired by a postcard contest. Colorful children's drawings celebrating literacy, featuring the words "Languages: Literacy for Life" in various styles and languages, creating a vibrant display of art.
