Klein Students Headed to State VASE
Texas High School VASE (Visual Art Scholastic Event) is in its 25th year. The first VASE event was held in 1994 with just over 400 student entries; in 2018, over 35,000 artworks were entered in VASE. Students create artworks, write about their creative processes and understanding of visual art, and articulate information about their artwork during an interview with a VASE juror, who evaluates their work using a standards-based rubric. This program is designed to meet the following goals:
- To recognize exemplary Visual Arts achievement by high school students in Texas.
- To recognize quality high school art instruction, and quality student Visual Arts programs.
- To raise the awareness of school administrators the quality of their art programs, and the contributions of their art instructors.
- To help define high-quality, standards-based Visual Arts programs.
- To encourage students to pursue Visual Arts as a possible career path in post-secondary education.
- To provide students an environment of rigor & healthy Visual Arts competition in which to develop skills as Visual Artists.
The following students received the highest recognition at the regional VASE event and will be attending State VASE at San Marcos High School on April 27th.
