24-25 Cal High Reflections Art Program

Join us for the Annual Cal High Reflections Showcase on Thursday November 7 at 6:30pm in the Cal High Theater. All are welcome!
============================
Do you enjoy art, music and dance or have an interest in writing, producing films and taking photos? Then join us and have fun unleashing your inner artist with PTA Reflections.

“Accepting Imperfection” is the theme for the 2024-25 Reflections Art Program.

Reflections encourages students of all ages to:
  • Unleash creative talents and be inspired
  • Express themselves imaginatively in their artwork
  • Experience the fun and joy of making art
  • Tap into critical thinking skills to create art inspired by the annual theme
  • Receive positive recognition for their original works of art.

All students attending PTA/PTSA schools sponsoring the program are invited to participate and submit original artwork in one of six areas:
  • Dance Choreography
  • Literature
  • Photography
  • Film Production
  • Music Composition
  • Visual Arts

Cal High Deadline for Submissions: October 15
For questions, contact our Cal High Reflections Committee at chsreflections@calhighptsa.org.
How to Enter
Entrants must submit their artwork and their student entry form (PTA Reflections Student Submission Entry Form) no later than October 15. Entrants must follow requirements and instructions specific to each arts category and division.
 
Entry Requirements — (All participants must also follow Arts Category and Division Rules)
  • Only new pieces of artwork inspired by the theme may be submitted. Each entry must be the original work of one student only. An adult may not alter the creative integrity of a student’s work. Because the program is designed to encourage and recognize each student’s individual creativity, help from an adult or collaboration with other students is not allowed except in the Special Artist Division. Only one student may be recognized as the award recipient for each entry. Other individuals may appear in or perform a student’s work, but the work itself must be the creative product of one student only.
      • Each entry must contain a title and all entries must include an artist statement. The artist statement communicates what inspired the work, how it relates to the theme, and the content of the work. The statement must include a minimum of 10 words, but may not exceed 100 words.
      • Use of copyrighted material is prohibited, except for recorded music in dance choreography and film production entries. Plagiarized entries will be disqualified. Use of PowerPoint presentations are prohibited because most graphic elements are copyrighted.
