The IB Visual Arts course will immerse you in the theories and practices of art-making, enabling you to explore the dynamics of the history of world art and its relevance to modern and contemporary art forms. You will be required to investigate ideas and themes in art by dividing them into context, methods and communication as a way of building up a critical and aesthetic understanding of the world around you. The three elements – theoretical practice, art-making and curatorial practice – will lead you from initial research through to creating and exhibiting a work of art. This course will offer opportunities to work with a wide range of techniques and processes, from the digital graphic arts through to screen print, intaglio printmaking, painting in a variety of mediums, and drawing. Parts of the course will involve performance art and image manipulation. Residential trips will support and expand your learning, giving you the chance to experience contemporary art first-hand. Students taking this course will need to be highly motivated and have a strong level of practical skills.
All offers made are unconditional and will be made based on a minimum entry requirement of Grade 6 GCSE.
There are two external sections of assessment and one internal assessment.
