2022 VASE ART COMPETITION For the VASE competition students create artwork and write about their creative processes and understanding of visual art. The contest was judged virtually this year by individual VASE jurors, who evaluated work using a standards-based rubric. There are 29 regional events held all over the state. In our region alone there were 1,619 entries from 30 different schools.
All 12 works of art created by CDA students received the highest score and two* of those were selected to advance to the State VASE competition on April 29! CDA will be represented by: Alexa Barthel, "Minneapolis", marker on paper, and Anna Beckey, "Splash Into Summer", graphite on paper
TRUTH, GOODNESS AND BEAUTY ART COMPETITIONWow! It was a great day for CDA at the Truth, Goodness and Beauty Art Competition at Colleyville Covenant.
