The Horse

by Ronald Duncan

Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride,

Friendship without envy, Or beauty without vanity? Here, where grace is served with muscle And strength by gentleness confined He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent. There is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.

Mannville School Work Display

An Honorarium of $18.00 is awarded to each classroom for full class participation.

School curriculum encourages the participation and enjoyment of artistic concepts as a purely

personal achievement. Therefore, each child has the opportunity to select one or two pieces of

his/her year’s work in Art. Artwork is expressed in many different media and material.

Competition is not an element in artistic expression and therefore, no prizes are awarded.

We hope you enjoy the creative art display from the students at

Mannville School!

APPENDIX Tips on Presenting an Attractive Display – according to Judging Criteria

Flowers – Clean fresh flowers free from bugs and blemishes, and uniform in size, shape, color and harmony.

Containers – suited to flower. Not too decorative to take away from flower. Container is in proportion to size and

type of flower.

Long Stemmed Flowers – Use tall vases with narrow openings. Leaves stripped off the bottom of stem that is in

the water. Flowers such as a gladiolas, arrange snug in container so it doesn’t move around.

Individual Blooms – such as cosmos and calendula are shown with only one open bloom per stem in narrow

container of appropriate height

Multiple Blooms – such as sweet pea, stock, phlox and snapdragons, the more open blooms the better the exhibit

Individual Blooms – such as petunias, tuberous begonia, pansy and viola, only the flower is judged. Remove

stems and foliage.

Containers for Individual Blooms – shallow with foil covers and large enough so that flowers do not touch

Example … margarine tubs – cut center of the lid out and leave raised edge. Place foil (shiny side down) over

container and snap down lid. Punch small holes in foil for stems, making sure flowers don’t touch. Cut stem so it

will be in water but bloom rests on foil. Or use shallow plastic food storage containers. Drill small holes in lid.

Floral Arrangements – In arrangements the container and the use of fillers and accessories enhance your display.

Accessories examples are mats, doilies, marbles, candles, figurines, etc. Filler examples are baby’s breath,

goutweed, nanking cherry, peony etc. No oasis must be used.

Lilies – Little emphasis is put on number of open flowers. A stem with a single perfect open flower will rate

higher than one with many flowers open of which not all are perfect.

Best condition is when – lower flowers are open but not fading, upper flowers still in bud, free from disease and

insect damage, anthers are present and petals not stained with pollen.

Arrangement Size Standards:

Miniature – are not to exceed 7 ½ cm (3”) in any direction including container base and accessories. To be viewed

from all sides.

Cup and Saucer – are not to exceed 20 cm (8”) including container base and accessories. To be viewed from all

sides.

Dining Room Table – are not to exceed 30 cm (12”) including container base and accessories. To be viewed from

all sides.

planning to display it.
