Visual Arts

Assessment

Studio Work – Exhibition of up to 11 pieces at HL and 7 pieces at SL (40%) Students submit for assessment a selection of resolved artworks from their exhibition. The selected pieces should show evidence of their technical accomplishment during the visual arts course and an understanding of the use of materials, ideas and practices appropriate to visual communication. Process Portfolio – Providing evidence of the developmental process – up to 25 slides at HL and 18 slides at SL (40%) Students submit carefully selected materials which evidence their experimentation, exploration, manipulation and refinement of a variety of visual arts activities during the two-year course. Comparative Study – An evaluative illustrated document, comparing and contrasting the work of 3 artists and their work (20%) Students analyse and compare different artworks by different artists. This independent critical and contextual investigation explores artworks, objects and artefacts from differing cultural contexts.
