Daikin Paintings Daikin Paintings

DAIKIN PAINTING COMPETITION

Daikin America very generously supports a painting competition  between all the Decatur elementary schools' fifth grades. Every year Daikin selects a theme and sends with it a 3'x4' prepared canvas, and a box of paints and supplies to EVERY elementary school. Within a certain time frame, the schools are to produce an original painting and turn it in to be judged. These paintings are then taken to the Daikin Festival in May to be displayed. Afterward the paintings are brought back to their company for a year, replacing the prior year's paintings, which are sent back to the schools.  Each school's fifth grade is awarded a plaque and sheet cake for participating, and the winning school also receives a pizza party!

Below are some of our previous paintings that we have created for Daikin. Enjoy our creativity!!
