DSHS ART STUDENTS RECOGNIZED AT REGIONAL VASE EVENT
Dripping Springs High School was well-represented at the area/regional VASE (Visual Arts Scholastic Event) competition last weekend in San Marcos. The event is sponsored by the Texas Art Education Association. DSHS students presented their work and defended their pieces in front of a judges’ panel; entries were given scores ranging from 1-4. Of the pieces entered, 53 Dripping Springs pieces medaled by receiving Superior ratings of 4, which is considered “all-region” recognition, including 11 students who earned two medals each.
Eight of those entries then were named “all-area,” which means those students have qualified for the state competition. The 2019 State VASE competition will be held April 26-27 at San Marcos High School. State qualifiers (with the names of their entries) are:
Isabelle Avena - "Imperial"(pictured)
Vasi Bjeletich - "Commandment"
