Students prepare for next level of VASE
By Oscar Ramirez and Andres Del Toro |
Three students are set to go to state for VASE this weekend: Jayce’Aira Lockhart, Jasmine Espinoza, and Sharise Dotson.
Sharise Dotson’s art piece to go to VASE was called “Upright Mondrian.” Her inspiration for her art was “Broadway Boogie Woogie” It made her want to do it similar to this art piece.
Jayce’Aira Lockhart’s art piece is called “Spiracle Sweep” this master piece isn’t one she would usually do. This is something new she tried out and see how she felt about it.
Jasmine Espinoza’s piece is called “The Only Way Is Up.” She said she was surprised that the piece performed so well.
