A local schoolboy has been chosen as the overall winner for his entry into a national art competition.
The My Little Masterpiece campaign was launched by Sudocrem in a bid to get children engaged in the world around them and to boost their creativity. Children up and down the country sent in their artistic creations which were shared on Sudocrem’s School of Art web page.
9-year-old Finlay Dore from Reigate, Surrey, has been chosen as the campaign’s winner from over 1,300 entries for his little masterpiece – a colourful painting of people and animals living peacefully together around the earth. His artwork will now appear on thousands of limited edition pots of My Little Sudocrem.
Finlay’s emotive painting shows people of all ages and nationalities together with animals and plants of all shapes and sizes around the planet they all call home, Earth. Finlay even showed one side of the planet enjoying the sun while the other enjoys the beauty of the moon and stars.
He said, “I wanted to paint a picture of all the people, animals and nature all around the world living in peace and harmony together.”
Finlay’s mother, Emma, added, “Fin really enjoys art at school - it’s his favourite subject. His school is good at promoting creativity which is so important for children. Fin also enjoys experimenting with drawing on the iPad. We were delighted when we found out he had won Sudocrem’s My Little Masterpiece and we’re all so proud of him.”
Family skincare brand, Sudocrem, is passionate about encouraging families to lead healthier lifestyles and they have a history of projects that get children outside, playing, cycling and being creative, from Play More with Chris Packham to Cycle More with Dame Sarah Storey. Their My Little Masterpiece and Ideas Are Everywhere campaign focused on the importance of creativity in allowing children to express how they feel about the world around them.
Alice Bamford, Senior OTC Marketing Manager at Sudocrem says, “Art is not only great for boosting creativity but it’s also really soothing. Finlay’s colourful drawing of people and animals at peace around the earth demonstrates how art is a powerful form of communicating how children feel about what they see around them. We are delighted to announce Finlay is the winner of the My Little Masterpiece competition and to see his work on a limited edition range of My Little Sudocrem.”
