#40 - An Advert for Art
19 June 2020
Thank you to everyone who entered this week - what fantastic adverts! I'm sure the design agencies for the UK's top museums and galleries could learn a thing or two. As we have been doing for a number of weeks, we are announcing two winners from any school.
Our first winner this week is emotional_cherry of Noel Park Primary School. They worded their advert very creatively to appeal to those looking to reintroduce art to their life under lockdown and the message was strong and clear!
Our second winner is memorable_orchard of Michael Faraday School, who showed a brilliant example of how when writing, less can really be more. Their words for their advert were well-chosen to communicate the value of the museum and they used several attention grabbing phrases to pack a punch.
Well done to both of you, and everyone who entered!
As you might know, some art galleries and museums will be re-opening in the UK from Monday and some of Europe's biggest galleries have also begun to reopen.
So, this week's competition asks you to:
Design an advert for a re-opening art gallery or museum!
You can do this for a particular gallery or museum, or an imaginary one.
We recommend that you include
-A catchy headline to tell people you are reopening
-A few lines of text underneath to explain more about :
Remember, explain why people should sign up to visit - what's the benefit of art for them? Choose your words carefully, adverts don't usually have much text because they go on posters / in newspapers.
You don't need to worry about announcing rules for social distancing, or specific opening times. You might want to mention things could look a bit different, but remember this is an advert, not a set of guidelines!

My avert for a re-opening art gallery /museum would say :
Hello,
I was just letting everyone know that the national history museum will be opening soon and we would really like you to sign up to come and visit us .Some reason are that we have the worlds oldest dinosaur eggs and the best artefact we could find. Lots f people visit us even though we are in one of the biggest cities in England which is London.
I do hope that you will come and visit us when our doors are open to the public . I do hope you have a good day .

My headline is Museums are opening so get over to them
It's an advert, not a headline loyal_peach.
There is always a 'headline' element to an advert - it's the first thing someone sees, but it isn't a news headline like you'd see on the front page of the daily paper.
My advert would say:
To whom it may concern,
Soon we will open our doors to the public eye, but only a particular amount of people will be let in. We encourage to you to come as soon as possible. I hope you have a good day.
That would be my advert. Thankyou for awarding my comment a star in the last competition. I hope I will be able to go to a museum soon!
Or a library!

My advert is for a made up art gallery. The heading would be Flower Street Art Gallery Reopening!
Then it would say

You must be cautioned things will seem a little different on the inside. To get tickets and more information go to our website.
Have you been missing the riveting history and artefacts you visited at the museum? No need to worry! The Sherwood Museum is reopening and is going to be complete with many brand new productions and also a range of antique pieces all in mint condition. Due to the Coronavirus, we have to continue to listen to the government's advice and maintain our distance and keep our hygiene well. Because of this, we have decided to implement some brand new rules into place. At the entrance of the building, visitor's heat will be checked on entering. Anyone People will be supplied with masks and gloves if they do not have any at the entrance. Everyone must be at least two meters apart, and if more than one person gets in range of two metres, a mini alarm will ring. There will be checkpoints around the whole interior of the building where there will be an automatic dispenser of hand sanitiser. Auctions and sales will be held online at www.thesherwoodmuseum.com. All our customers will be assured that their product is in mint condition because we will show them our cleaning process. We are determined to get through this pandemic working together and we will make sure to keep all our customers, visitors and staff safe and healthy.
