(NAEA)
Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)
for Visual Art
VASE and Jr. VASE affords
students a positive
opportunity to develop
creative works of art and to
analyze their artworks with a
trained professional juror
Philosophy
VASE has established a
standard of evaluation
based upon individual and
original student
expression, use of
elements and principles,
and research of media
and art history.
Benefits for Teachers & Students
“VASE made me challenge
myself to accomplish
what I thought I
couldn’t do. Seeing the
art from across the
state gave me new ideas,
inspired me to work on
improving skills and
challenged me to find
new ways to express
myself.”
Jahaziel Minor
