Studio Practice is a title that describes your journey exploring making artworks that engage with your thematic concerns. When making artworks for your exhibition it is very important to keep in mind the time frame and how best to make artworks within this limitation. So always best to make a solid plan, keep to it and don't be distracted! Remember the art you make will count for 40% of your final Grade.
Going beyond the initial ideas
Going beyond the initial ideas
IB Art students often move too quickly from one idea to the next and the challenge lies in slowing down enough to go beyond first response, beyond the obvious.

- Experiment freely
- Investigate deeply
- Create intentionally
- Reflect critically
