REFLECTIONS ART CONTEST
PTA Reflections Art Program Theme: I MATTER BECAUSE…”
Now in it’s 51st year, the PTA’s Reflections Art Program is going into new territory! It will now be 100% virtual! Students can finally submit their artwork virtually!
What is Reflections? The Reflections program is a place where students are given a theme, reflect on it, and then tap into their inner artist to express what the theme means to them. They can submit one piece of original artwork in one or all of the following categories: dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography, visual arts, and special artist.
This year’s theme is “I MATTER BECAUSE.” An artist statement must accompany all submissions. INTERPRETATION OUTWEIGHS TECHNICAL SKILLS and the artist statement will play a key role in judging. Submissions are due by Wednesday, October 14th, at 11:59pm. An online submission form will be coming soon. In the meantime, show us why YOU matter!
Vista Verde’s very own Mrs. Lopez shares why she matters and wants you to tell us why YOU matter! https://youtu.be/
