REFLECTIONS PROGRAM

"My Favorite Place"

The Reflections theme for the 2006-2007 school year is "My Favorite Place". So, get out those paints, experiment with printing or chalk, take that camera on vacation, write poetry, prose, a short story, compose a song, choreograph a dance, or produce a film or video. Relax and let your creativity flow! (Please note that all entries must be original design and artwork of one student. Parents, friends, and teachers must not assist the student.) 

Students may enter as many categories as they like and as many times as they wish, but they must reflect the theme "My Favorite Place" in their work. Most of all, have lots of fun with your work!

Reflections entries are due at Hightower on Tuesday, October 31, 2006, 8:00am.

• Visual Arts - print, drawing, painting, collage, photographic collage, metal etching or punch work, fiber work, or computer-generated artwork  (max size 24x30, 3/8" thick)
