IB and Visual Arts Major Students Showcase Their Works of Art
IB Art and Visual Arts Major students welcomed friends and family to the opening of their exhibition, showcasing works from the portfolios they have developed over the past two years.
These courses, designed for highly motivated students interested in the study of visual art, include studio work as well as the investigation of art history, visual aesthetics, and comparative analysis. Students create and curate a body of work through visual inquiry, studio practice, and exhibition. A variety of media and techniques—both analog and digital—are available, allowing students to pursue their individual artistic interests.
