Lafayette will be highlighting our student's creativity as part of the National PTA Reflections Art contest! Ms Bajaj & the PTA will be working with your students to create visual arts pieces inspired by this year's theme "Accepting Imperfection." K-2 will be working with Ms Bajaj on their pieces in the classroom, while Grades 3-5 will be encouraged to complete a piece outside of class.
Lafayette PTA will be accepting entries only in the Visual Arts category this year.
Works of both fine and design arts are accepted, including but not limited to: drawing, painting in tempera, oil, acrylic, watercolor & t-shirt paints, computer generated art, 2D collage, printmaking, needlework & leather tooling, architectural drawing and models, ceramics, crafts, fashion clothes and jewelry, fiber work, mixed media, and sculpture.
Reproductions or enlargements of other artwork are not accepted.
Entries are judged on creative ability and interpretation of the theme.
