Welcome to IB Visual Arts.
|
I created this video as an introduction to IB at our school. It includes artwork and photos created by our students. The music was performed by SUIS IB students in 2015, Dominique Hua and Eunice Li.

Course Content
Students will learn about a range of art movements, art context, and strategies for analysing and understanding visual arts. They will also learn a range of skills to explore and produce a collection of artworks. This will be completed in a wide range of media and processes and could include a selection from: drawing, painting, printmaking, architectural design, fashion design, photography, and textiles.
Throughout the course the students will keep a Visual Arts Journal (sketchbook), in which they will document their research, explorations, skills, understanding, knowledge and reflections.
