IB Visuals Arts

IB Visual Arts Elective aims to provide students with the knowledge and understanding of the common language of plastic arts shared by all cultures. Perception and interpretation of different artistic styles are also emphasized. Students’ creativity, imagination and motor skills are fostered through hands-on activities. The Visual Arts course, which is introduced in the last two years of the Lise program, is offered at both Standard and High levels. Students are expected to prepare both Studio Work and Research Workbooks. Studio Work allows students to apply different materials and techniques in their fields of interest. The Research Workbook component is an artistic diary in which the students bring together their observations, research findings, documentations, commentaries, sketches and design studies on art, art history and contemporary artistic and cultural activities. At the end of the two year program, a personal art show along with with the research workbook/s prepared by students will be be evaluated by an External Examiner who is assigned by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO).
