Artwork from four Walnut Springs Elementary students recently was entered in the TEAM (Texas Elementary Art Meet) competition, and all pieces received high honors. Of the seven works of WSE art that were entered, all won second place and received Exemplary status after being evaluated with artwork form other Region 13 elementary schools. Students who were honored are (left to right in photo): Madison Mahorsky, Jillian Muckelroy, Benny Saldana, and Georgia Vanscoy.
The competition, which is similar to the high school Visual Arts Scholastic Event or VASE, is coordinated by the Texas Art Education Association (TAEA). The purpose of TEAM is to provide a collegiate assessment for an individual elementary art student based on defined standards. Additionally, TEAM provides constructive criticism (actual feedback) for the student’s literary and expressive process.
