Visual Arts Scholastic Event Region 2
Over 400 works whittled down to 20 advancing to state for Region 2. 
 
 
The TMHS Art Department competed at the Visual Arts Scholastic Event also known as VASE on Feb 18^th  at Rockport Fulton High School  Their work was spectacular!  Art students competed with an interview based upon their artwork.  They had to articulate the purpose, intent, elements and principles of design and influence in their works.  The participating students also were judged on their ability, creativity, flexibility, and craftsmanship within their chosen media and within their divisions.  The art department entered 15 artworks and had 14/15 works medal with a “Superior” ranking which is the highest at the regional level.   The medaling works then were advanced to compete again (in the same day) against other “Superior” works where the jurors, made up of a panel of practicing professional artists, deliberated upon whom should represent Region 2 at the State Level.  The students’ division is determined by the number of years of high school art instruction. 
 
            The following TMHS students medaled with the honor of having their work titled, “Superior”.  We have 4 students that will compete at the State Competition.  Please congratulate them as they worked very hard.
