According to their website, State VASE is the culminating event of a year of hard work and creative genius on behalf of the art students, teachers, and administrators in Texas!!! This event begins with each of the Regional Events scheduled during the months of January and February. The State of Texas is divided into 20 Education Regional Service Centers.
Students in the various regions are invited to participate in their Regional Event. The students are interviewed and their artworks are juried by certified, professional TAEA jurors. A Rating IV is the mark of a superior, exemplary, work of art. This qualifies the student to be entered in to the VASE Area Event. After the jury process is complete the artworks that qualify to participate are then processed for the State Event.
Below are the state winning projects from FHS:
