Visual Arts
There are three areas of focus in the IB visual arts programme: Studio (practical) work, the Process Portfolio and a Comparative Study. The course aims to teach students about design, structure, representation, and the aesthetic values of art. Students need to demonstrate creative and personal thinking, original ideas and concepts, and an interactivity between their work and work from other cultures and other artists. The visual arts course encourages students to develop new skills and experiment with different art styles and techniques.
An exhibition of the students' work will be curated as their final assessment for IB. A Process Portfolio, consisting of digital slides, documents their artistic endevours, usually done in an artbook, These art journals should document art and design history that is relevant to the exploration of ideas; contain notes, sketches, photographs, mind-maps, pictures of inspiration and final works. The Process Portfolio is assessed externally by IB. The Comparative Study is also assessed externally. The final exhibition is graded internally by the teacher, then moderated by an IB examiner.
