Johnson PTSA - Reflections

The arts are a vital element of a complete education. Reflections is a National PTA art recognition program that encourages students of all ages and abilities to experience the benefits of creative expression to tell their unique story and have their voice heard. One of the benefits of being a PTSA member is your student can enter the Reflections art contest!

Students who enter can receive recognition for their art. Approximately 20% of students who participate at our campus will advance to the North East Council of PTAs Reflections level where they will compete with students from other North East schools. Some students may advance to Texas PTA and then on to National PTA Reflection levels.

Johnson High School students who plan to submit artwork for Reflections, please visit the Texas PTA website by clicking on this link https://www.txpta.org/reflections-participation to learn more about this year’s Reflections program. Both English and Spanish entry forms and rules are available on the website.

Each entry must be the original work of the participating student and created based on the yearly theme. Please include three copies of the entry form with your artwork submission. Please note that a good artist statement about how your piece relates to the theme is an important part of your entry form and part of what judges consider when evaluating your work.
