The IB Art Exhibition is an internal assessment component of the IB Diploma Visual Arts course which students at both SL and HL complete by their senior year. Students submit a selection of their artworks for assessment to show evidence of their technical accomplishment during the course; these selected pieces also demonstrate an understanding of how the application of materials, ideas, and practices can be used to realize and communicate their intentions. Students design their individual exhibitions to also show evidence of their decision-making process which supports their selection of the connected and cohesive body of work in the form of a curatorial rationale.
During the exhibition, students showcase the skills, techniques, art styles they have developed to produce their own independent work in a variety of media and art-making forms. Each resolved artwork is supported by an exhibition text which includes a brief outline of the original intentions of the work and any reference sources which have influenced the individual piece. In addition to the exhibition text, students draft a curatorial rationale which is a description of why specific artworks have been chosen and presented in a particular format. It further explains the challenges, influences, triumphs, innovations, issuesthat have impacted the selection and presentation of the artworks, and the context of how the body of work presented connects and communicates with the viewer.
This site features the complete resolved artworks of our 14 seniors in the IBDP Visual Arts course for SY 2019-20. Please select a name to view their body of work.
