The Semester 1 assignments contribute to the Create, Connect, and Communicate framework of the final IB assessment:
Create: The four resolved artworks demonstrate technical skill, experimentation, and personal expression.
Connect: Research presentations and digital art journals (VAJ) reflections link your work to historical, cultural, and social contexts.
Communicate: Critiques, curatorial planning, and artwork texts lay the groundwork for the exhibition and final assessments.
What does it all mean?
Resolved artworks from Semester 1 may appear in both the Art-Making Portfolio and the Selected Resolved Artworks Portfolio
Research and presentations provide critical contextual evidence for the Connection Study (SL) or Artist Project (HL) and inform exhibition artwork texts.
VAJ documentation serves as the backbone for all three components, capturing experimentation, reflections, and connections between ideas and practice.
