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, boosting student confidence and success in the arts and life. Each year, over 300,000 Pre-K through 12th-grade students create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme.
ReflectionsⓇ is a National PTA Arts Program. GMS Students submit their entries to the Gorzycki Middle School PTA. After being reviewed by volunteers, entries may be selected go on to compete in the Austin Council of PTA’s level (all of Austin ISD), the Texas PTA level and even the National PTA level! In the selection process, greater weight is put on the interpretation of the theme, how closely the piece relates to the theme based on the entry submitted and the artist's statement.
