2009 - 2010 PROGRAM THEME:
"Beauty is..."
Student original artwork due to Millard by Nov. 6th
The National PTA Reflections Program is an arts recognition and achievement program for students. The Reflections Program provides opportunities for students to express themselves creatively and to receive positive recognition for original works of art inspired by a pre-selected theme. This years theme is "Wow"
Participation in the Reflections Program is a great way for students to explore and learn about various art forms. Creating art is a valuable learning process that challenges students to use their critical thinking skills as well as their creative talents to create art.
Students may submit an entry in any of the six arts areas. Guidelines for each category are linked below. Only original works of art are accepted. Students may enter more than one work of art.
General Participation Rules
The guidelines for the six arts areas are as follows:
* Literature
* Musical Composition
* Photography
* Visual arts
* Dance Choreography
* Film Production
If your child is interested in entering the PTA Reflections Program, review the rules for each category, plus the General Participation Rules. All Artwork must have a Student Entry Form attached.
Student Entry Form
Additional copies of all these forms are available in the school office.
Participation in the Reflections Program is organized by school grade. 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 four grade divisions are as follows: - Primary Preschool Grade 2 or up to age 7
- Intermediate Grades 3-5 or ages 8-10
- Middle/Junior Grades 6-8 or ages 11-13
- Senior Grades 9-12 or ages 14+
The Reflections Program is structured for PTAs to recognize students at the local unit, council, PTA district, state and national levels. Entries are first judged at the local unit level, where selected works are chosen to represent the PTA at each subsequent level. Once entries reach the level of the California State PTA, entries may be selected for submission to the National PTA. Award of Excellence and Awards of Merit are recognized at the annual National PTA convention and are displayed as part of the program's traveling exhibit. Participation in the California Reflections program is open to all students in attendance at PTA/PTSA schools where the program is sponsored. Entries are forwarded through channels. Each unit, council and PTA district establishes their own deadline dates, allowing adequate time for displaying and judging of entries. PTA units should acquire deadline dates from their council and PTA district. Only PTA districts may submit entries to the California State PTA. Please remember that:
