H.R. No. 868
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, A painting by Sophia Price, a kindergartener at
University Park Elementary School, is being featured in the 2015
Youth Art Month exhibition taking place at the Bob Bullock Texas
State History Museum and the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, Established in 1961, National Youth Art Month is
held every March to highlight the importance of art education and
encourage support for quality school art programs; exhibitions
across the nation showcase the creativity of young artists, and in
Texas, the public can enjoy their work at community centers,
galleries, schools, and other venues; and
WHEREAS, The curators for Youth Art Month chose Sophia
Price's painting titled "Night Owl" for inclusion in the 2015
exhibition, and she is one of only three kindergarteners to achieve
this honor; the talent and creativity reflected in her work
demonstrate the value of providing instruction to even the youngest
students and the benefit of encouraging them to express themselves
through art; and
WHEREAS, Sophia Price has distinguished herself at a very
early age, and the selection of her painting for the Youth Art Month
exhibition is a source of pride to her family, her fellow students,
and the faculty of University Park Elementary School; now,
therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Sophia Price on the inclusion of
her painting in the 2015 Youth Art Month exhibition at the Bob
Bullock Texas State History Museum and the State Capitol and extend
to her sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Sophia as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
