Aldine ISD Art High School Students Shine at Regional, 29 Works Advance to State VASE Competition
Of the 616 AISD student works submitted, 96% received top marks for exemplary achievement.
The Texas Art Education Association event known as Visual Arts Scholastic Event (VASE) recognizes exemplary student achievement in the visual arts.
Students from Aldine ISD high schools and ninth grade centers took part in Region 4N VASE event held at Klein Collins High School in February. They entered 616 student artworks.
Adjudication included the quality of the students’ artworks as well as the ability to talk about their pieces. The interview part accounted for one-third of the total score while the artwork counted as two-thirds of the final score.
According to Dr. Michaelann Kelley, 96 percent of AISD artworks received top marks. A total of 63 percent earned a “Superior” rating of 4; 33 percent received an “Excellent” rating of 3. Kelley is program director of fine arts.
The Regional Event also serves as the Area Event and the selection of the State finalists. Regional artworks that received a 4 Rating were juried again, by a select group of designated jurors, to determine the Area finalists. No artwork with a rating less than a 4 Rating qualifies for the Area event.
Twenty-nine AISD student artworks in the Area event qualified to compete at the State VASE.
The state competition set for April 27-28 in San Marcos.
