CLASS 821A, ORIGINAL ART Original art should be an exhibit that has a design unique to you. By using one medium or a combination, an individual creates an object that is not recognizable as another s work. Trademarks, logos, and other copyrighted images cannot be original since some other artist has already designed and created it. You must identify and explain the application of the design element(s) and art principle(s) featured

32 52 in this exhibit and describe or explain the source of the design. Does one (or more) of the following questions help describe what your exhibit is about? If it sounds like your exhibit, it should probably be in the Original Art class. 1. Did your idea come from something you thought up, the placement of geometric shapes, or something viewed in nature? 2. Did you see a design, magazine picture, painting, etc., that gave you an idea and you made major changes to that idea? (Include the source of design and explain the major changes.) You know it is a major change if you quickly look at your original source and your exhibit and they DO NOT seem similar. 3. Did you create your exhibit by observing things around you like looking at a still life or from a photograph you took of a scene? 4. Are the people in your exhibit (drawing, painting) ones you observed, studied, sketched or photographed and not people you saw in a magazine or other photograph? (If the person is identifiable in your picture, did you request their permission to use them in your art work?) CLASS 821B, DESIGN AND/OR TECHNIQUE EXPLORATION Technique Exploration is an exhibit that provides an individual the opportunity to explore a new medium, practice a skill, or study a design element or art principle. This exhibit may be an object, portfolio, display, poster, or organized sketch book. If a non-original design source is used, its origin (where you found the idea, any pictures, sketches, etc.) must still be credited. Logos, designs, and trademarks that are copyrighted may only be used if permission for this specific use has been granted from an authorized authority. The written permission must be included in the support materials provided with the exhibit or the piece is not legal for public display and will be disqualified. For display purposes, those exhibits with written permission will be labeled Copyright permission granted. You must identify and explain the application of the design element(s) and art principle(s) that were featured in this exhibit. In this class 1. Directions may be used to make the exhibit (basket weave pattern, quilt pattern, process instructions i.e. tie dying). Include the source of instructions or copy of the instructions. In your write-up be sure to focus on the design elements or art principles used in making decisions to develop the exhibit. Micky G s Clothing Co. 2. It may be a process evaluation shown by examples that demonstrate a different step of the process needed to complete a finished product. This process evaluation is the only acceptable place to exhibit portions of greenware or whiteware to provide the appropriate surface to illustrate the process techniques being explored. Processes could include glazes, paint blending, surface preparation to the final product. A finished product will only be used in the evaluation to determine the level of accomplishment of the goal. 3. A portfolio showing several examples of the practicing techniques of a medium where you used design ideas from photos, magazines, pictures. You must credit the sources of design ideas. 4. You may use a series of rubber stamps, stencils, etc. to create a design, develop technique or study color and texture. Detailed explanation of the use of the design elements/art principles is required. 5. Create a picture while practicing and improving your technique(s) of drawing, shading, blending, etc. The write-up focuses on the techniques practiced to demonstrate skills in applying the design elements and/or art principles.

CLASS 960, LIVE HEALTHY IOWA 960A Any exhibit, by one or more 4-Hers, which is an outgrowth of a goal to explore an area of nutrition and physical activity for personal development. 960B Any exhibit, by one or more 4-Hers, which is an outgrowth of a goal to provide leadership in the areas of nutrition and physical activity in a group setting (ex: family, club, community). 960C Any exhibit, by one or more 4-Hers, which displays citizenship in the areas of nutrition and physical activity within a community (example: senior living center, school). SECTION 40- CHILD DEVELOPMENT GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Members should be enrolled in Child Development project by May 15, There is a limit of not more than 3 entries in this section. 3. See page 46 for general exhibit rules. 4. Classes are for any exhibit which is an outgrowth of the member s Child Development project. Some examples are: Games, toys, stories, bulletin boards, puppets, photograph stories, service projects, and others. (Exhibits are not limited to any of the items listed.) If the exhibit is made for use with children, the member should try it with children before the fair and describe the children s age(s) and what happened. The exhib2009 it should include a written explanation about some of the most important ideas the member learned about any one of these topics: himself or herself in relation to working with children growth and development of children safety principles principles of caring for children guidance types of play children with special needs preparing for adulthood 5. Criteria for Evaluation: What makes a quality child development exhibit? The process of learning about children and yourself is the most important part of the project. Therefore, if a toy, for example, is made and exhibited at the fair, the construction of the toy is not as important as what the 4-H member learned about children as the toy was used. The construction of a toy should make it attractive, safe, durable and appropriate for children. The cost of the object can be reduced by making a toy or kit from supplies found in the home or by reclaiming an older piece by cleaning. But the judges want to know how the exhibit has helped the 4-H member learn more about child development and what has been learned, rather than details of how the exhibit was made. CLASS 501A, CHILD DEVELOPMENT Educational display or other type of exhibit relating to a child development project/program, such as age appropriate games, original stories, babysitting, toy safety, positive guidance and discipline, kids with special needs, careers, etc. Exhibit information should include what you have learned about yourself and/ or children while creating and using this exhibit, or about what the child gained or learned from use of the item in the exhibit.

Ask: 1. Does this product require refrigeration? 2. Would you eat this product at room temperature? 3. Will this product hold up so it represents a standard when evaluated by judges or viewed by the public? ACCEPTABLE FOR FAIR DISPLAY (See following pages for details about specific products. If you have questions, please contact your local ISU extension office.) *Canned products OKAY IF Products prepared according to current recommendations are acceptable. *Canned salsa OKAY IF Canned salsa made using accepted methods is allowed. *Pecan/Walnut pies OKAY IF Products made from a nontraditional recipe that includes added water or milk are NOT acceptable. *Frosting, icing, glazes OKAY IF *Fruit-flavored vinegars OKAY Fruit-flavored vinegar will be allowed as an exhibit, providing a specific recipe is used and included. *Cream cheese mints OKAY *Caramel rolls OKAY *Pineapple upside down cake OKAY Because of the high sugar content of the caramel and toppings, they will not support the growth of bacteria. NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR FAIR DISPLAY (See following pages for details about specific products. If you have questions, please contact your local ISU extension office.) Breads containing ingredients that are normally refrigerated (chopped vegetables or meats, layers of cheese) Cake, brownies, bread baked in a jar Canned/preserved products using questionable recipe or procedure Caramel corn or pies baked in a paper grocery bag Custard and cream-filled pies, cheesecakes Flavored oils Fresh salsa Homemade egg noodles Jerky of any kind Meat-filled pastries Raw egg in any uncooked product Sourdough, friendship bread, etc. Sweet rolls with cottage cheese/egg topping Vegetables marinated in oils and herbs DIGGING DEEPER: GUIDANCE FOR PREPARATION OF SAFE FOODS FOR 4-H FAIRS Food and nutrition projects for 4-H competitions and events should be prepared with food safety in mind. The importance of food safety cannot be overemphasized. Judges will not evaluate foods that they consider unsafe and you do not want the judges to become ill. How do foods make people sick? Proper preparation and handling of foods is critical to avoiding foodborne illness. The two most important aspects are to prevent food from being contaminated with bacteria or viruses and to prevent the growth of bacteria. Although a variety of naturally-occurring pathogenic bacteria may be present in foods, processing steps (such as heat and refrigeration) usually kill them or prevent them from growing. Viruses that make us sick are almost always found in food as a result of fecal contamination from the preparer. The key to preventing pathogenic viruses from causing illness is frequent hand washing, especially after using the restroom. AN ESTIMATED 50 MILLION AMERICANS GET SICK YEARLY BECAUSE SOMEONE DID NOT WASH HIS/HER HANDS. Proper hand washing is the most important step each of us can take to ensure safe food and it takes only a minute. Wash your hands: After using the restroom Before preparing food Before eating food After playing with the pets Almost anytime you think they may be dirty!

38 58 CRITICAL SAFE FOOD HANDLING GUIDELINES FOR EVENTS AND EXHIBITS Keep counters, dishes, and hands clean. Use paper towels or replace handlowels frequently. Avoid cross contamination of raw or prepared foods with raw meats or poultry. Cutting boards, knives, hand towels, plates, and hands are all potential sources of cross contamination. Thaw foods in the refrigerator and not at room temperature. Cook meats and poultry to the proper internal temperatures. Cool foods quickly. Remember the two hour rule! FAT TOM FACTORS NECESSARY FOR BACTERIAL GROWTH Bacteria are like us; they need specific conditions to grow. The conditions that bacteria need can be summarized in the acronym FAT TOM. F food Bacteria can grow on almost anything; they need only protein and carbohydrate. Think about how fast milk spoils. With 4 percent sugars and 4 percent protein, milk is the perfect food for bacteria. A acidity Bacteria need a neutral environment, neither too acidic nor too alkaline. Optimum growth is in the ph range 4.6 to 7.8. Many common foods are in this range: milk, 6.8; fresh meat, 6.1; green beans, 6.2; bananas, 4.3. T temperature Pathogenic bacteria can grow in temperatures from F but they grow best in the F zone. In this temperature range, pathogens may double every 20 minutes. No wonder so many people get sick from temperature-abused foods! Hot foods should be kept HOT (above 140 ) and cold foods COLD (below 40 ). O oxygen Some bacteria are able to grow without oxygen (anaerobic). The process of canning foods creates an anaerobic environment and may allow the growth of the bacterium that causes botulism. Fortunately, the extreme heat of the pressure canner kills the bacterium. M moisture All life needs water to grow. For example, dried rice does not support bacterial growth; however, cooked rice is a very good growth medium for bacteria. Why are some foods inappropriate for display at fairs? Most foods are safe to consume immediately after preparation; others post unique handling considerations that might be difficult to provide. For example, custards, cream pies, fluid dairy products, egg dishes, and meat products require colder storage temperatures than are usually available away from home. Other foods may be unsafe if kept at room temperature for more than two hours. Because fairs are events that are judged, you must make sure that the food prepared is safe to eat for the judges. This means following the safe food handling practices outlined above and preparing foods that will survive in warm, humid situations. ACCEPTABLE FOODS FOR FAIR DISPLAY Canned products OKAY IF Products are acceptable if the recipe and process are from an approved source (University Extension publications, USDA canning guide, or Ball Blue Book). Products presented in anything other than a Masontype threaded jar with a matching lid will not be accepted. Jars that previously contained a commercially processed product (mayonnaise, for example) are not acceptable. Paraffin or waxes must not be used as a jar sealant. All products must have the canning method, processing time, recipe, and source of recipe (including publication date). Only products processed since September of the previous year will be accepted. Canned products will not be tasted by judges but will be evaluated on color, appearance, aroma, and texture. Canned fruits, jams and jellies, and pickled products Boiling water canner processing may be used. Acidification of tomatoes is required. See Canning and Freezing Tomatoes (PM 638) for acidification methods. Canned vegetables and meat products These are evaluated only by appearance, texture, and aroma; they are not tasted. In addition to canning method, processing time, and recipe, a pressure test record of the pressure vessel must accompany the product. Canned salsa OKAY IF Acceptable only if the process used is from an acceptable source. Statement of entire process and source, (including publication date) must accompany product. (One recipe source is New Mexico University Extension at e/e-323.pdf.) Pecan/Walnut pies OKAY IF These pies are safe if made from a traditional recipe using eggs, sugars, and no added water or milk. Although these are very rich and moist, they are safe because there is not enough moisture to support bacterial growth. Products made from a nontraditional recipe that includes added water or milk are NOT acceptable. Frosting, icing, glazes OKAY IF Icing and frostings made with raw eggs are NOT acceptable. Cream cheese frostings made with commercially available cream cheese are acceptable if made with at least 4 cups of sugar per 8 ounces or less of cream cheese. Whipped cream cheese frostings made without powdered sugar are NOT acceptable. Frostings made with meringue powder are acceptable. Frostings and glazes made of powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla or other flavorings are acceptable. Note that frostings and glazes will melt in hot, humid weather and may interfere with product evaluation. Fruit-flavored vinegars OKAY Fruit-flavored vinegar will be allowed as an exhibit, providing a specific recipe is used and included (with publication date); simply adding fruit to vinegar is not enough. Note that the color of the fruit may change with storage. Use only commercially available vinegars and do not dilute. Cream cheese mints OKAY Caramel rolls OKAY Pineapple upside down cake OKAY Because of the high sugar content of the caramel and toppings, they will not support the growth of bacteria. UNACCEPTABLE FOODS FOR FAIR DISPLAY Breads containing ingredients that are normally refrigerated Breads that contain products that are normally refrigerated (such as cut-up mushrooms, chopped onions, chopped peppers, and salsa) and/or high protein items (such as pork and beans or layers of cheese) would be used in a timely manner at home. They are not acceptable as a fair exhibit because of their short shelf life. Cake, brownies, bread baked in a jar Preparation method creates potential botulism risk. Canned/Preserved products using questionable recipe or procedure (Refer to instructions in previous section.) Caramel corn or pies baked in a paper grocery bag Bags are inappropriate

40 60 cooking containers because: 1) the bag may not be sanitary, 2) the glue and ink used on the bag have not been approved for contact with food and may give off toxic fumes when heated, 3) the bag may catch on fire, 4) grocery bags made of recycled paper may contain a variety of contaminants that may leach into the food. Custard and cream-filled pies, cheesecakes Require refrigeration and cannot be allowed. Flavored oils Oils infused with herbs or garlic are a potential botulism risk. Products made with these oils also are considered unsafe. Fresh salsa Requires refrigeration and cannot be allowed. Homemade egg noodles The United States Department of Agriculture Meat and Poultry Hotline says that noodles made with whole raw eggs should be dried and stored in the refrigerator or frozen to prevent salmonella from growing to disease- causing levels. Jerky of any kind Not acceptable because of safe handling considerations. A poster or notebook is a better choice as an exhibit. Meat-filled pastries These products have a significant chance of bacterial growth. Raw egg in any uncooked product Eggs have been implicated in an increasing number of cases of food borne illness. Salmonella can lurk inside the egg, even one with a clean, uncracked shell. That means that some recipes, unless modified, are unsafe. Many old favorite recipes were written before salmonella was recognized as a problem in raw eggs. See You at the Fair! Sourdough, friendship bread, etc. Although bakery products leavened by wild microorganisms have been used for years, the potential for abuse may result in an unsafe product. Of particular concern are toxins produced by a variety of organisms including Staphylococcus. Sweet rolls with cottage cheese/egg topping Implies a sugar, egg, cream cheese (or other unripened cheese such as cottage or ricotta cheese) mixture that is protein-rich, moist, and can be easily contaminated. Bacteria love high protein, high moisture, and a neutral ph environment. Vegetables marinated in oils and herbs The vegetables could harbor botulism spores. Covering moist vegetables with oil results in anaerobic conditions that may allow botulism growth. HOME IMPROVEMENT SECTION 43 Jr. Supts.: Talynn Hughes, Amanda Garner.
