2024 State VASE honors students from four district high schools

Pieces of art made by students in 色窝窝无码一区二区三区 are making their听way across Texas.

That鈥檚 because the students were named All-State Artists and Gold Seal Award Winners at the (Visual Art Scholastic Event)听this past April.

Jurors selected artwork that represents the goals of VASE and are exemplary examples of concept, technique, craftsmanship and creativity. With over 33,000 regional entries submitted, only 166 were selected for the Gold Seal.

Each piece has or will be featured in an听exhibition at the Dr. Marcelo Cavazos Center for Visual and Performing Arts, the Austin ISD Performing Arts Center, the Texas Art Education Association Conference and more.

鈥淔or these students, receiving this honor signifies a significant achievement and recognition of their hard work and dedication to the arts,鈥 said 色窝窝无码一区二区三区 assistant director of fine arts Linh Nguyen. 鈥淚t highlights the importance of their artistic contribution, which may go unnoticed. By celebrating their talents and success not only do we boost their confidence, but we also provide them with a sense of self-worth and accomplishment.鈥

This year, Arlington and Lamar high school听students received Gold Seals for the fourth time. And students from Sam Houston and Bowie High School became the first from their schools to receive the honor.听That makes 色窝窝无码一区二区三区 one of the few in the state to have Gold Seal honors at four different high schools.

鈥淚 am extremely proud of these students,鈥 Nguyen said. 鈥淭heir achievement represents not just their individual talent and hard work, but also their commitment to personal growth and creativity as a student artist and individual.
