PTSA REFLECTIONS 2024-2025
“Accepting Imperfection”

Picture

Welcome to the WSPTA Reflections program!
Reflections is a National PTA arts recognition program that helps students pre-K through grade 12
  • explore their own thoughts, feelings, and ideas
  • develop artistic literacy (by describing how their art relates to a theme)
  • increase confidence
  • find a love for learning that will help them become more successful not only in school but in life.
Students create original works of art in response to a theme. The theme for 2024-2025  is “Accepting Imperfection.” Themes are selected from student submissions (see: Theme Search Contest, below). Any PTA/PTSA in good standing may sponsor the program. Students may only submit entries through a PTA/PTSA. Only students that attend at school with a PTA/PTSA may participate. Parent groups not affiliated with National PTA are not eligible to sponsor this program.
Students may enter in one or more of the available arts categories (see program details for more information). Finalists from local PTAs will move on to their council PTA (if applicable), then finalists from councils will advance to the state round. Washington State PTA finalists who receive an “Outstanding Interpretation award will advance to the National PTA round.
The deadline for turning in artwork to your school PTA will typically be in late autumn. Local PTAs and councils can choose to accept physical or virtual entries. Only virtual submissions will be sent to the WSPTA level for judging.

All Einstein students are encouraged to participate in the Reflections Art Program!  A student may submit an entry in any of six arts areas. Only original works of art are accepted. The six art areas are:
 
  • Choreography/Dance: originally choreographed dance composition. / en español
  • Film/Video: original works, with or without sound, of animation, narrative, documentary, experimental or music video/film. / en español
  • Literature – works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, prose, drama, short stories and lyrics.  /  en español

PLEASE NOTE: The statement will be considered as part of the art during the judging process. The artist statement should thoughtfully communicate the content and inspiration of the work and how it relates to the theme.
