What is the Reflections Art Program? 
 
"Reflections is a National PTA arts recognition program that helps students explore their own thoughts, feelings, and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence, and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful not only in school but in life. Students in pre-K through grade 12 create original works of art in response to a theme. The theme for the 2023-2024 program will be “I am Hopeful Because…"

Submissions were accepted by the Crescent Heights PTA during the first few months of the school year. 
A contest winner will be selected from our panel of judges and move onto the Washington State level contest. If a student from Crescent Heights is selected, we will be contacted regarding the artwork progressing to the national contest. Contest winners at the state and national levels will be informed by the Spring.

 

Your artists can showcase their creativity in one of the following art categories:

  • Literature: fiction, nonfiction, poetry, prose, drama, short stories and lyrics.
  • Music Composition: original musical composition (with or without lyrics)
  • Photography: color or black & white, included techniques: photogram, negative 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. A group may perform, but only the artist submitting the entry will be scored.

  • Pre-school - Grade 2
