Inspiring young minds to be creative
As the school year begins, I am busy with preparations for leading this year’s Reflections program at my sons’ elementary school. I just love inspiring young minds!
For those of you that may not know about it, Reflections is a national PTA program designed to give students an opportunity to explore and learn about various art forms including music, photography, visual art and literature. Every year they have a theme, and this year’s theme is “Beauty Is….” Take a look at the website (www.pta.org) and view the slideshow of the artwork that won top awards last year. These kiddos are amazing!
At our school, we will show off our kids’ creativity in a two-week exhibit of entries down the main hallways. It’s a great way to get those beginner artists used to public commentary (which is not always nice by the way!) and being on display~! And it’s good for inspiring the kids that didn’t create an entry too…maybe next year they will!
