Northwood Artists & Parent Volunteers
2025 Reflections Art Workshops
Encourage your child to explore the arts and express their creativity by participating in the National PTA Reflections Art Program. This year's theme is I Belong!
Sign up for an after-school art workshop on Mon, 11/10 or Fri, 11/14 from 3:30-4:45 PM in the Northwood Art Room.
Each workshop is limited to 20 students and 4 approved Northwood parent volunteers, so please only sign your child/self up for one spot. All supplies needed to create a compliant piece of 2D artwork will be provided by the Northwood PTA. Volunteers will assist with set up, clean up, and helping students fill out the required Reflections Entry Form.
All Reflections artwork will be blindly judged based on creativity (30 points), skill/technique (30 points), and how well it relates to the theme, I Belong! (40 points). Artwork will be proudly displayed inside the school after the holidays and winners will be announced on the NBS News at the end of January. All students will receive a Reflections certificate and participation prize. The top two winners from each age group and art category will receive an additional gift and go on to compete at States/Nationals for a chance at a scholarship!
In additional to visual arts, students may also create artwork in the literature, music composition, photography, dance choreography and film production categories. Original artwork may be created from home, but please no parent/sibling help. Refer to the Official Reflections Guidelines for more information on size/content requirements, tips for creating artwork in line with the theme, and crafting a strong artist statement. All Reflections artwork is due by Tue, 11/25 (the day before Thanksgiving break). Physical artwork can be turned into the Main Office and digital submissions can be sent to Northwood Reflections PTA Chair, Julie Boledovich at reflections@neropta.com.
*When registering your child, please select the "display an alternate name" option so that your child's name (vs. yours) appears on the signupgenius. In the custom field, enter your child's teacher's name. This makes it easy to identify who's coming so that we can send a courtery reminder to the school office/teachers the day of the workshop. Thanks!
