Empower youth to reach their full potential through youth adult

Often, we get “ideas” by observation of other’s works of art, crafts, recipes, etc. It is very important to give credit to those individuals or companies who have created materials, resources, logos, trademarks, photographs, etc. that you may want to incorporate into your 4-H project exhibited at county fair. You must request and be granted permission in order to use someone else’s material.
For more information, regarding copyright use guidelines for 4-H projects, go to: http://www.extension.iastate.edu/clinton/page/projects
Clover Kids will NOT use the Fair Entry program and will only use the paper entry form to submit entries. Clover Kids are welcome to attend Conference Judging Day and sit with a judge for project evaluation OR they may bring their project to the Fair Auditorium to be displayed with their Club’s booth. All Clover Kids classes are non-competitive, meaning that kids (k-3) may participate but will not be placed or awarded premium money.
Clover Kids Entry forms may be picked up at the Extension Office or downloaded at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/clinton/content/clinton-county-fair-entry. Entry forms are due by June 20 to the Clinton County Extension Office.
4-H Club Clean-Up at the Fair on Monday, July 11
Let’s demonstrate our skills in citizenship. Each club is required to help clean, but each year specific clubs are notified when it is their turn on the rotation to clean up the fairgrounds on the Monday following the fair. The Clubs whose turn it is to clean up must arrive on the fairgrounds at 9:00AM on Monday, July 11, 2016.
They will be responsible for picking up leftover trash and other duties. Let’s help leave the fairgrounds as we found them! This year, the Charlotte Jr. Producers, Equine Fever, and Delmar Hot Shots Clubs will help clean up the fairgrounds.

Graduating Seniors
Design Elements & Art Principles for 4-H Projects
Congratulations to all of the 2016 graduating seniors! Thank you for being positive role models in 4-H and in your community. We wish you the best luck in all that you do! Please plan on attending the 4-H Award and Recognition Program at the Clinton County Club Show on Friday, July 8 in the Beef Arena. Check-in with Extension staff by 3:30 pm in the Beef Arena.
You will be receiving a short questionnaire in the mail to be returned to the Extension Office. Please let Kaitlyn Ketelsen know if you are not able to attend by calling the Extension Office or by emailing [email protected].
Design Elements
Line can be horizontal, vertical, diagonal, or curved.
Lines can vary in thickness or help create a mood.
Shapes are made from connected lines. How they
are arranged determines the design. They can be
geometric or organic.
Color is described with the words hue, value, and
intensity. Hues are names of colors. Value is light-
ness or darkness of a hue. Intensity refers to the
brightness or dullness of a hue. Light, intermediate,
and dark values define parts of objects and set off
one area of a design from another.
Texture is a surface characteristic that can be
touched or seen. Contrasting textures add interest.
Space is divided into negative and positive areas.
Art Principles
Rhythm is organized movement. Repeating an ele-
ment (i.e. lines) will produce rhythm.
Proportion compares the amount, size, or
number.
Emphasis captures your attention by unusual use of
line, shape, texture, space, or value.
Balance gives a design stability.
Radial balance -- same around a center point;
Asymmetrical balance -- dissimilar;
Bisymmetrical balance -- same on both sides.
Unity is the union of the elements in a design.
Required for all Visual Arts, Home Improvement, & Clothing Projects
