“Diversity Means...” PTSA arts recognition and achievement program
Designed to
enhance rather than replace a quality arts
education, the PTSA Reflections Program
provides
opportunities for students to express themselves
and to receive positive recognition for their
artistic efforts. The 2011-2012 Reflections theme is: "Diversity Means…!" Last Date for entry: October 28th
PTSA believes all children deserve a quality arts education and encourages students to pursue artistic expression through participation in its annual arts Reflections Program. The program offers students the opportunity to create works of art for fun and recognition. Students in preschool through grade 12 are encouraged to create and submit works of art in six areas: dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography, and the visual arts (which includes art forms such as drawing, painting, print making, and collage). For more than 40 years, the program has encouraged millions of students across the nation and in American schools overseas to create works of art.
The Reflections
Program was started in 1969 by then Colorado PTA
President Mary Lou Anderson.
Students
participate in the Reflections Program by
submitting entries to their local PTSA.

Guidelines for Reflections entries:
1. Sturdy mounting material was not used
for visual arts or photography entries.
A good rule of
thumb is “if you can bend it nearly in half,
roll it or fold it, it is not properly mounted.”
Foam core board, corrugated cardboard and thick
mat board are a few examples of acceptable
mounting materials (but not thicker than 3/8”).
Putting a mat around a visual arts or
photography entry is not proper mounting unless
it also has a sturdy board backing. Construction
paper and poster board are NOT acceptable
mounting materials.
2. Visual arts and photography entries
cannot be thicker than 3/8”.
Nothing in a
frame, nor canvas on stretcher bars is accepted.
Sculpture of any kind is not accepted. Glass
items are not accepted due to potential
breakage.
3. Literature entries should not be
mounted, laminated or bound.
The pages must be
loose in a manila file folder with entry form
attached to the outside of the folder. Word
count must be noted on the entry form. An
original and two copies are required to be
submitted.
4. Dance Choreography and Film Production
entries must be saved AS A FILE on the DVD.
Do not submit as
a DVD movie. This means that when the DVD is
inserted in a computer, a window must come up
showing the files on the disc allowing the
viewer must click on the file to open it. If the
entry automatically starts when the DVD is
inserted in a computer, the entry has not been
saved as a file.
5. Check the DVDs and CDs before submitting them to make sure they work
and do not have a faulty sound. Questions? Please contact: Alison Johnson alison.johnson@comcast.net Redmond High School School Web Site: http://schools.lwsd.org/RHS/
