High School Vase Team 2005 What a great group of talented students!! This year marks the 11th year of Aubrey’s participation in VASE (The Visual Arts Scholastic Event). The Vase Team consisted of veteran senior members Lily Owens, Brandon Tinder, and Sarah Vanderzell, junior Rubianna Lara, as well as sophomores David Monroe, Thomas Carter, Tiffany Gascogine, Bethany Hodge, Miranda Fyffe, and Brandon Marstellar. Freshmen Ashley Ortez and Kaitlin Vanderzell completed the team. Regional Competition was held on Saturday March 5th with over 1100 students entering. These schools range from 2-A to 5-A schools. This is one of the 20 regional events held over the state involving over 12,000 student entries. Only 10% percent are advanced to state and those are chosen from among the regional winners. Scores are based on the artworks themselves as well as a written and oral interview with a judge. Aubrey students brought home 11 Regional First Place medals this year including perfect scores from Sarah Vanderzell, Kaitlyn Vanderzell, and Brandon Marstellar. Two of the VASE members, Lily Owens (drawing) and Thomas Carter (sculpture) advanced to the State Competition at the University of Houston on April 16th where they attended workshops and competed for scholarships. Their portraits and sculptures are on display in the art display case in the High School. Thomas scored a “3” which is considered exceptional, and Lily was named All-State for the second year in a row. This places Lily in the top 6 percent of over 12,000 art student across the state. Lily is only the 3rd students from Aubrey to have been named All-State for two years. Lily plans a career in counseling and art therapy. Brandon Tinder will begin a major in architecture at UTA. The rest of the team will continue in drawing, painting and sculpture classes next year at our high school.
