Celebrating 50 Years of National PTA REFLECTIONS and honoring Roosevelt Artists!

Congratulations to all the artists who participated in Reflections this year!  It was an incredible turnout!  We had our first 3D entries, more songs and films than ever before and wonderful photography, dance and visual arts submissions.  During the celebration we had two volunteer string duet performances creating a beautiful atmosphere!

While we do want to celebrate every artist a single piece from each category must be selected to move on to the next round of judging for our district.  Judges who are experts in their field and who do not have children who attend Roosevelt nor have a special attachment to any of the artists were asked to choose.  Art is very subjective and different judges may have chosen different pieces.  Each judge was given a rubric for scoring which put a lot of weight on the interpretation of the theme which is the subject / title / artist statement and also considers creativity and grade level appropriate technique.

Here are the selected artworks that will be moving along to the next level of judging.
