2023-2024 Reflections 
"I am Hopeful Because..."

 

 

PTA Reflections is a nationally acclaimed student cultural arts program, recognizing children for their creativity. Students from Preschool through Grade 12 may participate and explore the arts based on a yearly theme. Students may show their personal interpretation of the theme in their choice of six categories: dance choreography, film production, literature, photography, music composition, visual arts, and special artist. 

 

For Pinchbeck, we'll have two groups competing: Kindergarten-2nd and 3rd-5th Grade

 

 

 

Submission forms have been sent home in your child's folder, but if you need another copy, reach out to reflections@pinchbeckpta.com

 

 

 

The 2023-2024 theme is “I am Hopeful Because..."

Watch this short video requesting a call for entries for the 2023-2024 school year! 

 

Your art will be judged on three criteria:
  • Interpretation: How closely the piece relates to the theme, based on the work itself and the artist statement. 
  • Creativity: How creative and original the piece is in its conception of the theme and its presentation. 
  • Technique: The level of skill demonstrated in the basic principles/techniques of the arts area.

Judges strongly consider the interpretation of the Reflections theme during the evaluation process. It is suggested that students give their submissions a title that stands out and describes how the piece relates to the student’s personal interpretation of the theme. The following guiding questions can be useful when developing a title and artist statement: 

  • How does your work relate to the theme?
  • What is your personal connection to the theme?
  • What did you use to create your work (e.g., supplies, technology, instrumentation, props, etc.)?
  • What/who was your inspiration?

Submissions can be made now by dropping off to the Reflections box in the office or emailing us at reflections@pinchbeckpta.com. The deadline for submissions is Friday, December 1st.

 

We'll be announcing winners December 11th!

 

 

 

The Reflections Program is one of the best examples of the PTA’s ability to bring out the best in our youth and let their creativity shine!
