Started in 1969 and a staple arts program in many schools, National PTA’s Reflections® Program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boosts student confidence and success in the arts and in life. Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through 12th grade create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme.
Reflections® is a National PTA Arts Program. Clayton students submit their entries to the Nan Clayton PTA, and after being reviewed by volunteers, entries may be selected to compete in the Austin Council of PTAs level (all of Austin ISD), the Texas PTA level, and even the National PTA level!
In the selection process, greater weight is put on interpretation of the theme, how closely the piece relates to the theme based on the entry submitted, and the artist's statement.
