PTA ART REFLECTIONS PROGRAM 2024
Announcing our Chameleon Art Reflections winners!
Kayal Arockiyasankar, 2nd grade, visual arts piece "Accepting Imperfection"
I am trying to tell the message that we dont have to play perfect to be happy. In my drawing this girl is having fun even though she is playing it in imperfect way.
Uma Bhawe, 4th grade, visual arts piece "Cracks that tell my story"
In Kintsugi broken pieces of pottery are put together with gold. Instead of discarding the cup you mend it and the cracks make it more beautiful. The broken cup is now worth more than a whole cup. My pencil self-portrait can be easily smudged. The ripped paper is put back together with gold foil to enhance the cracks that tell my story. The background is made up of mis-matched patterns inspired by pottery designs but they show my emotions. By accepting myself and not judging too harshly for my mistakes, I can grow and become a whole person just like a broken cup mended with gold.
Clara Ortiz, 2nd grade, dance choreography "Believe in Yourself"
Even though my dancing isn’t perfect, I still believe in myself because I know I can do anything if I work hard. I know I am strong and dancing makes me happy so it is ok if I am imperfect.
Jameson Parker, 4th grade, poem "Which Path Will You Choose: Uniting in Love and Acceptance"
My poem on this year's Reflections theme, “Accepting Imperfection,” tells the story of two groups of people and the path they choose when accepting and protecting others who are different and far from perfect. There is the good path full of light, and there is the path of darkness and hate. Accepting imperfection in all people is an important part of our growth. I want to send the message of how important this is for all of us at this time in our lives.
Valor Ahn, 1st grade, photograph "My Imperfect Shoes"
One strap of my shoe isn't sticky anymore and it is not perfect. But I still like to wear it instead of my new shoes. I like my imperfect shoes.
Andrew Perkins, 3rd grade, photograph "Spiderwebs"
What is the definition of a "perfect" spiderweb? Nothing! Each spiderweb is unique in its own way, and each one is beautiful - but not perfect.
Shea Simper, 4th grade, film "Practice Makes Perfect
I was inspired to create this film because it shows my drawing process. It starts with how my drawings looked when I was a lot younger building up to my drawings now. The reason I chose a bee for this film was because bees and other pollinators don’t care what the plant or flower looks like. They only care about the pollen that they get from the plant. So as long as they get that pollen, any imperfect plant is perfect for them.
