“Diversity Means…”
Why Should Children Participate in the PTA Reflections Program?
When children express themselves through words, pictures, music, photography, and other various art forms, they grow intellectually. As children experience the creative process, they learn to analyze their thoughts, feelings, and ideas. They learn to look at things, people, and experiences in a fresh and exciting way, and become more interested in the ideas and works of others. Some of the greatest scientific discoveries made in the world came through the imaginative process, not the scientific laboratory. PTA’s Reflections Program helps parents encourage and recognize their children’s continuous self-discovery process.
Art Categories
· Students may submit works in any of the eight art categories:
Dance Choreography Visual Arts Musical Composition
Film Production 3-D Art Photography
Literature Theatre
The Theme of This Year’s Reflection Program is “Diversity means . . .
A dictionary definition of diversity is “Many people or things that differ from each other.” What does it mean to you?
