Visual Arts Classic (VAC)
rThe Visual Arts Classic (VAC) is a competition for art students in grades 9-12. It features studio categories (usually 11 or 12) and an annually changing theme. Students are involved in in-depth research on selected artists (usually about a dozen) whose work relates to the theme. Scores are earned both individually and as a team. Students have the opportunity to create artwork in response to a prompt as a “long-term” project. Students also participate in a challenge to create artwork in response to a prompt as an “on-site” project. Teams compete in a “Critical Thinking” team project as well as an “Art History Quiz Bowl” relating to the selected theme and artists.
There are both a Regional and State competition. 2021 Art and Joy Virtual VAC on March 20, 2021 The 2021 Visual Arts Classic Artist List Yulia Brodskaya Nick Cave Jim Hensen Adonna Khare Jeeyoung Lee Henri Matisse Peter Max Cory McCrory Bob Ross Kehinde Wiley Steve Wirtz |
