Reflections

Reflections is a National PTA Program supporting the arts in schools. Students of PTA schools have the opportunity to enter into any of six categories. All three of our school age kids decided to enter pictures in the visual arts category. The top three in each category and age group advance. There were 152 entrants in the visual arts category from our childrens school so we were surprised to learn that Trent, Teagan, AND Brilee all placed and would go on to the district competition. A couple months later we learned that both Teagan and Brilee had won and would go on to the state level. Wow! That was the theme by the way.

Trent titled his 'Seaside Volcano'.
Teagan titled hers 'A Quiet Day in the Country'. It is very colorful and has a lot of detail.
Brilee titled hers 'Wow! It's a Beautiful Day'. Brilee climbed up to the bar and looked at Teagan's picture and basically drew her own version of that (lol) but, hey, she went pretty far with it. =)A couple weeks ago we attended a nice awards program they held for all district and state winners and we learned that Teagan received an Award of Merit at the state competition. Way to go Teagan! Way to go ALL little budding artists!
