San Saba High School art students have a busy schedule this April. Saturday, April 27th, is the state Visual Art Scholastic Event (VASE) in San Marcos. “Texas High School Visual Art Scholastic Event (VASE) celebrated its 25th Anniversary in 2019. The first VASE event was held in 1994 with just over 400 student entries; after 25 years, High School VASE entries number around 35,000. 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.” VASE is not divided into districts so students compete against 1A through 6A schools.
