For this competition, artist / scientist Cris Orfescu is providing 3 high resolution monochromatic electron scans. Click on the thumbnails to open and download the high resolution images. Participating students may alter one or all provided images in any artistic way to create original NanoArt work(s). Students are strongly encouraged to collaborate with scientists at local universities and participate with their own images as long as these visualize micro or nano structures. Students can participate with up to 5 artworks. Please send web images of artworks by e-mail to k12@nanoart21.org and include: Student’s Name, Grade, School, City, Country, Artwork Title, Final Image Size and Resolution, Artistic Process, Comments, Opinions, Ideas (students can express their opinions about the NanoArt K12™ program and propose new ideas for NanoArt promotion, competitions, and shows).
