Visual Arts Scholastic Event___________________________
I was invited to create a street painting for Houston's Visual Arts Scholastic Event. This was my 3rd time participating as a Master Artist. Like last year, I created an original image that students could interact with, providing workshop time with me and allowing them to have a hand in the finished piece. I only had one day to complete the painting so having the help of these very talented young artists was wonderful!
- The sketchbook pages swirl around a young artist and into her portfolio. Each of the pages was painted by a student with an image inspired by their competition piece.
The Visual Arts Scholastic Event is the only art event of its kind in the nation. Students are provided the opportunity to bring artworks created in their art classes to a regional event where they are interviewed by a certified juror who evaluates their work based on a standards based rubric and their understanding of the art processes involved in the development of their artwork. Only academically eligible high school students in grades 9-12 enrolled in a Texas public or private school Texas can participate in VASE.
