T hank you for supporting this section, either by purchasing an ad, supporting our future artists or simply by reading

and enjoying the section! This is our second annual “Ads by Kids” section and it is so

exciting to see what the kids have created. Last year, my predecessor, Publisher Jean Lund, and I were

lucky enough to go to the Twelve Bridges Middle School to teach advertising to the sixth, seventh and eighth-grade art classes.We had a wonderful time and the kids were great!

This year, one of our advertising representatives, Jennifer Parisius, and I taught advertising fundamentals to the student artists again.

We revisited Ray Gonzales’ classes at Twelve Bridges Middle School.

Several students raised their hands when I asked if they worked on this project last year. They were very enthusiastic and remembered the five elements for a great ad (graphic, header, body copy, signature and call to action) from last year!

This year, we added Community Christian Schools . Students at this downtown-area school were also excited about

the prospect of helping and learning! The kids were attentive and eager to show their work.

We also initiated a competition where a winner from each grade was chosen by a third party. Each of the winners (pictured on the next several pages) received a $25 Visa gift certificate.

I want to thank Ray Gonzales of Twelve Bridges Middle School and Matthew Brown of Community Christian Schools for the time and effort they put into this project.

The Lincoln News Messenger sales staff, Jennifer Parisius and Cassie Genthner, have also worked very hard to make sure that every business had a chance to see the ads that were created for them. These businesses were offered the opportunity to be a part of this unique publication. Not all of the ads were purchased but all the ads can be viewed on our website at lincolnnewsmessenger.com in the Ads by Kids Gallery and on our Facebook page.

We hope you enjoy this special section. If you would like your business represented next year, please email us at [email protected] or call 645-7733.

The Draw An Ad contest was truly an opportunity for my Art students to put their talents to work. My young Artists had a blast. To benefit from having the publisher and a commercial artist come in and present to each class how a newspaper works and how the Arts and artists fit into this real world was a meaningful lesson. The students learned how to design an ad using their unique perspective and skills coupled with their new knowledge of how to make it marketable. With the tremendous support of our local businesses my already talented students come away from this collaboration with a rich experience that I think will have an enduring impact for years to come.

Thank you! Ray Gonzales

How did you go about researching the Business that you created your ad for? What did you think was the most fun about this project?

Artist Winner

Community Christian School

I thought this project was fun and I

enjoyed doing it. Drawing horses is

fun to me. I chose to draw an ad

for Ride to Walk because I like

horses. Through this project I

learned the 5 steps of how to

make an ad that will have people

notice it, so it stands out. Things

like making the picture be the biggest part, like not

a lot of words. What I’ve learned about art in Mr.

Brownell’s art class are things like shading

techniques and how to draw plain figures like boxes

and flowers and stuff. I am excited about winning

this contest.

Taylor DeRossett-7th grade Artist Winner Twelve Bridges Middle School

I’ve always loved to draw ever since I was a little kid. I would always draw cute things like flowers that are smiling, baby animals, and a picture of me and my family together. A lot of people are very serious when it comes to art, but I just like to hang loose and have fun! What’s the point of doing Art when you’re not having fun while doing it? I just want to say thank you to all my friends in art for making art super fun! I couldn’t have done it without them. Also a lot of people believe they can’t draw, but I don’t believe that! Everyone has their own style and types of Art. So, I believe that anyone can draw or sculpt. don’t let anyone discourage you from your dreams. Who knows? You may just be the next Vincent Van Gogh!

Twelve Bridges Middle School

I have always enjoyed making

Art. Not just for the fun of it,

but also for the fact that you

can be proud and say that you

created this.

Sam Aleman-8th grade Artist Winner Twelve Bridges Middle School

Since I was 4, drawing was my strongest suit. A lot of friends at my old school said I was the best and that sort of inspired me to continue drawing. When I moved to Lincoln my Art skills were enhanced because of the techniques Mr. Gonzales, my art teacher at TBMS, taught me. This entire year has been great for me-art wise-because I was put in my first art gallery show, and won my first Art related contest, and entered two others. Like, the Google contest which I wanted to do since I was 8. Art has really helped me and, to whom it may concern, I hope it helps you too.
