Reflections: Next Steps

Next Steps:
1. Complete the entry form focusing on the artist statement.
(refer to Judges Rubric to understand how heavily "interpretation of theme is weighed)

Judges strongly consider the interpretation of the Reflections theme during the evaluation process. It is suggested that students give their submissions a title that stands out and describes how the piece relates to the student’s personal interpretation of the theme. The following guiding questions can be useful when developing a title and artist statement: 

• How does your work relate to the theme?
• What is your personal connection to the theme?
• What did you use to create your work (e.g., supplies, technology, instrumentation, props, etc.)?
• What/who was your inspiration?

NOTE: Students can submit more than one entry, as long as they are in different categories.

2. Start creating "art" to reflect theme: Show Your Voice

3. Submit form and Entry by Wednesday, November 9th.  Please submit to the child's teacher (label PTA Reflections Program) or TEXT Sophea at 917-544-6774 for drop off arrangements.  You are encouraged to make a copy of the form and save a digital copy of the entry.  Feel free to email a copy to meadowPTAReflections@gmail.com.  All entries will receive a confirmation email by 11/14.
