"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up." - Pablo Picasso
PTA Reflections Art Recognition Program
A yearly art recognition program where students' art will be
celebrated at our school, with the potential to
continue on to District, State, and National Contests.
PTA Reflections Art Recognition Program !
Do you enjoy art, music and dance or have an interest in writing, producing films and taking photos? Then join us and have fun unleashing your inner artist with PTA Reflections! Each year, students select a theme and all art created must fit that theme.
This year’s theme, “Accepting Imperfection” calls for your own unique interpretation through the arts. See below for the categories, submission guidelines, and an entry form information. The deadline for contest submissions is December 1st. Please turn in all art to the Office or via email to [email protected] by that date.
For inspiration, visit the Reflections virtual art gallery and learn more about prizes and scholarships at PTA.org/Reflections/Awards.
