PTA-Reflections

  

Watch for Grade specific Reflections Workshops in September!

 

The deadline for all 2022-23 entry forms and artwork is Oct 17, 2022. No extensions will be offered, judging will start immediately after the deadline.

Students may submit works in any of the six arts areas:

 

Grade Divisions are as follows:

 

All students are encouraged to enter their own creative entries into this year’s program. All entries must contain an entry form and 3 creative parts that will be used for judging: artwork, entry title, and an artist statement.

 

Students will submit the entry form using the provided Google Form listed for their specific school, which includes space for the title and artist statement. The entry artwork must be emailed (with proper formatting) to the specific school address listed below. Additionally, Photography and Visual Arts entries must be dropped off at the school office.

 

ALL ENTRIES must include digital artwork, titled “Category (D, F, L, M, P, VA)-Division(PRI, INT, MS, HS, SA)-Student’s first name last name-Entry Title-School Name”, emailed to the school chairs using the link below.

 

If you have more than 1 entry in the same art category, in most cases, a unique title will distinguish the entries. If you have more than 1 entry in the same category with the same title, add a number at the end of the title for each additional entry to distinguish between them.

 

Music entries from students in grades 6-12 must also include notation OR a written reflective statement with a musically technical explanation (100 words or less). 

 

If writing a reflective statement, consider answering these questions: 

·       What musical decisions were made to achieve the final version of the piece?

·       How did you develop the musical elements?

·       What equipment was used (if any)?

·       What sounds and/or musical ideas were used to represent certain ideas or emotions?
 ·       How was your creative and musical decisions influenced by your expertise, context, and expressive intent?

 

They should be submitted as a PDF file by email along with your artwork. Music Notation files should be named: Category(D, F, L, M, P, VA)-Division(PRI, INT, MS, HS, SA)-Student’s first name last name-Entry Title-School Name

 

Photography and Visual Arts entries must also drop off their artwork in their school’s main office in addition to the email listed above. The artwork should be mounted on card paper or cardboard (like a cereal box cardboard) to prevent damage to any paper or prints. The student’s name should be written on the back of the cardboard. No frames or matting is allowed.
