The Magic of a Moment

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 2012-2013 Reflections theme is: "The Magic of a Moment"

Last Date for entry: November 2nd

 

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.

Rules and deadlines are not the same for all PTSAs.

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.
