The GCM Art Department is happy to announce that over the past weekend, Goose Creek Memorial High School students earned three Superior Ratings and one Medal participating in the annual State VASE Competition. There were over 31,000 entrees at the regional level across the state. Only 1975 of those entrees advanced from regionals. Of those entrees, GCM had 4 student entrees that not only received a score of ‘4’, an exemplary rating, at the regional level but also qualified to advance to the state level of competition. At the state level, Sharlita Cannegieter, Grade 11, competing in Division II, against fellow second year art students, earned a State Medal under the care and supervision of her art teacher, Mrs. Aguilar. Her piece titled “Identity” is pictured above along with our other state qualifiers who earned Superior Ratings at the state level!

About Vase: This event is the High School Visual Art Scholastic Event (VASE) and is under the supervision and direction of TAEA. The mission of the High School Visual Arts Scholastic Event (VASE) is to recognize exemplary student achievement in the Visual Arts by providing high school art students and programs a standard of excellence in which to achieve. 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. VASE recognizes exemplary student achievement in visual art through individual and original expression of ideas applying the elements and principles of art based upon research of art media and art history. 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. The Regional Event also serves as the Area Event, where State finalists are selected. All regional entries receiving a Rating IV-Superior qualify for the Area jury process. Ten percent (10%) of the actual number of artworks receiving a 4 at the regional event in each division (Divisions 1 through 4) may advance to State.
