JUROR TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

It is our sincere belief that VASE be carried out in the spirit of a positive learning experience.

Jurors need to be mindful that the spirit of the Regional Event is to help students grow in their knowledge and application of the visual arts.

Jurors should be honest, fair and NURTURING as they judge the student’s art production and encourage the students to verbalize their personal art experience.

Jurors are to refrain from judgmental comments andanti-teacher/program remarks.

VASE is to be a motivating experience for each student regardless of his or her ability or art level.

Competition is a real world activity and this event should be encouraging and serve as a growth experience.

Jurors are to provide support, create a climate of reassurance and concern, and encourage young artists to reach for the highest standard of excellencein their artworks.

Jurors must write a minimum of two strong positive statements regarding the student’s artwork and a minimum of one statement on an area to strengthenin the artwork.

EACH JUROR WILL…

Have a table, chairs, and a place to set the artwork.

Receive pens/pencils, a timer, calculator and snacks in the breakroom!

Receive the first student promptly at 8:00 a.m.

Check the Juror Rating Form for an “OK” stamp from the qualifications desk

Stay on schedule, the schedule is tight and itis extremely easy to get so involved you losetrack of time.

Be aware that the next student will be waiting outside your room.

Write comments and/or suggestions to the studentsfor feedback.

COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS

The importance of feedback to the student regarding their score cannot be emphasized enough!!

Your comments are critical to the processof artistic growth.

We would like for you to write two positive comments on the artwork and one comment in regards to how

the student may be able to improve their work.

EXAMPLES OF “POSITIVE” COMMENTS

“Excellent use of value – strong contrasts exist in all details.”

“Very accurate facial proportions, nicely done!”

“Great use of implied line.”

“Strong composition with a nice balance of positive and negative space.”

“The focal point is well defined, nice work.”

“Excellent concept! A new and creative approach to the subject.”

“Very nice use of color.”

“Your craftsmanship is amazing, keep upthe great work!”

EXAMPLES OF“AREA FOR IMPROVEMENT” COMMENTS

“Develop your values to create stronger contrast.”

“Composition is lacking a center of interest”

“Be careful! Smudges and fingerprints detract from your drawing.”

“Develop your own personal characters instead of reproducing others.

“These are copyrighted images – be careful!”

“Negative space is not ‘broken’ up with a variety of shapes and sizes.”

SAMPLE INTERVIEW

“Hi, Welcome to VASE! I’m Mr. Smith and you are?” Shake their hand if you’d like, take their artwork and paperwork off their hands.

Set up the artwork so that you can both see it while you talk about it.If the student has two pieces check to make sure the piece you are scoring

and the piece you are seeing are the same. Do not judge the same student twice!

“Have you participated in VASE before?”If they have, welcome them back. If they have not, briefly explain

the interview process.

“So, what level of art are you in?”By looking at their paperwork you will be able to see how many credits they have.

0.5-1=Art I 1.5-2=Art II 2.5-3=Art III 3.5+=Art IV or AP

“Wow, this is a beautiful painting, was it a class assignment?”If it was, ask a few specifics about the assignment like “what were the

general guidelines of the project?” or “did you study any artists inconjunction with the project?” or “did you focus on specific elements and principals

of art?” If it was not a class project, see the next sample interview question.

“What was your inspiration for the piece?”They might rattle off a long story about it or they may look confused! If theyseem confused ask them specific questions about the piece like “who is thiswoman in the piece?” or “I see that you used various values of blue, is blue

your favorite color?” Asking simple questions like this will often spark conversation.

“Tell me about how you made this.”You are looking for a technical answer like “I worked from a still-life that my teacher set-up and this was the first time I used chalk pastels.” Again, you may have to pull the answer out of them! You want to know if they worked

from a photo or a still-life, if it is 2-D, if they had ever worked in this medium before this piece, etc.

“Tell me what you like best about this piece.”Agree with them or tell them what you like best about the artwork.

“If you could change anything, what would it be? Why?”If they mention one, discuss how this change may or may not enhance

the piece and why. If they do not mention one, say something like “If I had one suggestion at all, I would suggest…”

“If you have not already, mention an area that could use polishing.”For example, “You have a lot of negative space in the background that detracts

from the focal point…is there something you can add to the background tomake it more interesting?”

“Conclude by identifying the strengths of the piece.”Reiterate the strengths even if you have already discussed them…leave on a

positive note!

“Thank them for participating and tell them to return to their teacher!”

“Remind students that you will be keeping their artwork just for a little while. It will be returned to them at the conclusion of the event.”

You will keep their artwork and paperwork, score it, write comments and then send artwork and paperwork with a student runner. DING! Your eight minutes are up!!

Student InfoMake sure you are scoring the correct

piece if student has two entries! Verify that the

division the student is in is correct. A simple

“I see you are in AP Art”will do…no need to drill

them! If the division seems to be incorrect, continue on with the

interview and scoring process and simply

place a post-it on the score sheet with a note.Linda will investigate!

Signature of Juror

Sign and dateLast but not least, sign

and date the rating form.

SEND THE ARTWORK ON ITS WAY

DO NOT give the artwork and Juror Rating Form back to the student!

Place the completed Juror Rating Form in the envelope provided.

Give the artwork and envelope to a student runner who will be circulating thehallways picking up artwork.If there is no runner available, hold on to artwork in theroom until a runner comes by.

KEEP IN MIND…

You will be interviewing students with different levels of experience. Make sure that you pay close attention to how many credits of art each student has.

You should not judge an Art I student as hard as you judge an AP Art student.

It is permissible for a student to have a school district designee in the interview room with them.

This is not a college critique. Every student should have a positive experience at VASE!

We are not necessarily here to make them better artists. We are here to build self-esteem!

Do not criticize the quality of their supplies. Teachers may be working with a limited budget. For example, never suggest a student use a higher grade of paint.

If the student is in your room, interview them! You do not have the right to disqualify artwork. Each piece goes through a qualifications check but some pieces may slip through the cracks. After the student has left, you can question a piece of artwork by flagging down the Jury Foreman and asking to speak to the Regional Director – Denise Olson. She is the only one who can disqualify artwork. If disqualified, artwork will not be scored.

Do not fuss at students for not knowing the elements and principals of art...chances are they are nervous! Let them use your cheat sheet or look at their paperwork on the back of their artwork, if need be.

If you feel that every student you interview deserves a high rating, give them one! We do not require you to give a certain number of 1s, 2s, 3s and 4s (no quota systems or bell curves). We do however, encourage you to be careful awarding 1s & 2s. Remember that a “1” represents “Below Average - student exhibits no attempts at achieving the objectives” and if a student has done the work to come to VASE, he probably has made some attempt to achieve the objectives.

If a score is one point below what it takes to go to the next higher rating (a 48, 36, or 24), add one point to go up to the next level, or take one point away to make it solidly in the lower level. “One Point Misses” are very difficult for students and teachers to live with.

Don’t interview the same student twice!

If you know the student you are supposed to interview send them to the Jury Foreman to have them re-assigned to another juror.

If you are judging electronic media work turn on your computer when you get to your table. Log in as a “student” with a check mark in “work station only.”

Lunch will take place after all students have been interviewed. Jurors will receive a snack at some point during the morning.

We will follow the schedule as best we can but we all know that situations arise.

DECIDING WHO GOES TO STATE

All of the students have been interviewed…now what?

After lunch, all artwork that received a 4 earlier in the day will be laid out on the Commons floor. The artwork

will be separated into divisions so there will be four sections of artwork. Find the division you will be

judging.

AREA JUDGING

Each division may send a percentage of their 4’s to state. During Area Judging you will choose which pieces you feel should go to state and

place a post-it note on them. If your division can send 15 pieces to state, each judge will receive 15 post-its. The pieces with the most post-its

will advance to state. If there is a tie, this process will be repeated on a smaller scale.

AREA JUDGING REMINDERS

There is no talking during Area Judging.

Make sure you have the correct color of post-it notes for the division you are judging.

Please choose pieces that will represent the highest quality of work.

Once we confirm state qualifiers,

YOU ARE FINISHED!Thank You!!!
