Reflections -- 2012-2013 theme is
 "The magic of a moment..."

The Reflections Program is a National PTA and WSPTA cultural arts competition. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works.

 Reflections       Overview >>> 

• Literature -- works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, prose, drama, short stories and lyrics.
• Music Composition -- original musical composition, with or without words.
• Photography -- prints up to 11 x 14 inches in color or black and white, including techniques: photogram, retouched, montage, 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.
• Film/Video -- original works, with or without sound, of animation, narrative, documentary, experimental or music video/film.
• Choreography/Dance -- originally choreographed dance composition.

NOTE:  It is very important that any student participating in the Reflections program read and understand the Rules and Guidelines for their category.

Participation in Reflections 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 -- Preschool - Grade 2
• Intermediate -- Grades 3 - 5
• Middle/Junior -- Grades 6 - 8
• Senior -- Grades 9 - 12

Entries are judged on creative ability and interpretation of the theme. Deadline for submitting to your Eisenhower PTSA is November 23, 2011.  (Entry deadline to submit to local Yakima Council is December 2, 2011.  Deadline for WSPTA io be announced)
