Timber Creek’s visual arts department looks to impress the state with its amazing artists once more. Both returning and new art students begin to learn techniques, styles, and medias, helping them find what they love best and prepare for the upcoming opportunities and competitions this year brings.
The annual VASE art competition will be held on Feb. 11, 2017, in which last year 23 students qualified and traveled to State VASE. Coming home, 14 of those students received “All-State honors”, and one won the highest state award, a Gold Seal. This school year, students and faculty alike look to surpass those numbers and wow the state even more. Last year, Timber Creek junior Lauren Robin got a four out of four on her art piece, and this year looks to make it to state.
“I’m really excited for VASE this year,” Robin says. “I’m looking to make it really far!”
For Timber Creek artists, the upcoming school year looks very promising and holds great opportunities to showcase our visual arts department’s exceptional work. Another art opportunity that the district provides is Southlake’s Art in The Square, an event that will be held in April, for artists from across the region to showcase their artwork and share their amazing ideas, creativity, and originality. Art in The Square provides their artists with booths to display their works in the town center so that they can share their art as well as walk around and see other’s works.
Last year, Timber Creek students received several awards, including first and second places in multiple categories. This year, junior Sydney Beck looks forward attending the Southlake competition.
“I think its going to be a really cool experience to see really great art and meet new people,” Beck says.
