Each entry will be reviewed using the following criteria:
  • Interpretation: How closely the piece relates to the theme, based on the artwork itself and the artist statement.
  • Creativity: How creative and original the piece is in its conception of the theme and its presentation.
  • Technique: The level of skill demonstrated in the basic principles/techniques of the arts area.
 
3. Submit your entry
Students must fill out the official Reflections entry form with each submission, including parent signature, the title of the artwork, and an artist statement of 10-100 words describing the student’s inspiration and personal connection to the theme and how the work relates to the theme. Please bring completed entries to the school for submission on or before Monday, October 22, 2018.
