Please come celebrate our young artists at our Student Art gallery and dessert potluck reception on Wednesday, November 13th from 6-7:30pm in the school cafeteria.
The Reflections Program is a National PTA arts program for students from pre-K through grade 12. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works of art in response to a theme.
CATEGORIES:
Pre-Kindergarten through grade 12 students are encouraged to submit original works of art in one or more of the following categories:
-
Literature – works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, prose, drama, short stories and lyrics.
-
Musical Composition – original musical composition, with or without words.
-
Photography – color or black and white, included techniques: photogram, negative sandwich, and multiple exposure.
-
Visual Arts – drawing, painting in tempera, oil, acrylic, watercolor & t-shirt paints, computer generated art, two-dimensional collage, printmaking, needlework & leather tooling.
-
Accessible Arts Division: Students with disabilities may receive special accommodations by entering the special artist division and are encouraged to enter any category.
Participation is organized by student age and grade levels. Student works are critiqued against others in the same grade division. This allows recognition and judging of artworks by appropriate developmental age and skill levels. The grade divisions are:
-
Primary: Pre-school – Grade 2
-
Intermediate: Grades 3 – 5
Entries are judged on creative ability and interpretation of the theme.
