What is a High-Quality Process Slide?

A high-quality process slide for the new IB DP Visual Arts curriculum shows your artistic journey and connects your ideas, experiments, and reflections in a clear and visually engaging way. It should:

Connect: Show how your inspirations, research, and initial ideas relate to the theme or concept you're exploring.
- Include images of sketches, reference materials, or brainstorming ideas.
- Use annotations to explain what inspired you and how you developed your ideas.
Create: Highlight your experiments and techniques.
- Show photos of your process (e.g., trying out materials, creating textures, or testing designs).
- Explain what you tried, what worked, and what didn’t.
Communicate: Reflect on your decisions and explain how your work expresses your intentions.
- Use annotations to share why you made certain choices (e.g., colors, materials, or composition).
- Organize your slide so it visually tells the story of your process clearly and creatively.

Summary...
An AIP Screen in IB DP Visual Arts is a visual and written record that showcases your creative process. It reflects how you explore, experiment, and develop ideas in your art-making journey. A good process slide includes:

Visual Evidence: Photos of sketches, artworks, or experiments; documentation of materials and tools; layouts, designs, or visual brainstorming.
Annotations: Clear, concise reflections on your ideas and process; explanations of materials, techniques, and decisions; connections to influences, inspirations, or goals.
Cohesion and Presentation: A clean, visually appealing layout; balanced use of text and visuals; use of a clear color palette and readable fonts.

"Who Am I?" Visual Process Slide - Your Assignment

Create a visually appealing process slide that introduces who you are as an artist and demonstrates key elements of a strong IB DP Visual Arts process slide: experimentation, annotation, and visual cohesion.

Your Task
Create a process slide titled "Who Am I?" that introduces who you are as an artist. This will serve as a practice for developing strong process slides and setting the tone for your work in this course.

Your Slide Should Include

Visual Elements: A self-portrait (can be drawn, photographed, or digitally created); images of personal items or places that inspire you as an artist; a creative composition or mood board that reflects your artistic identity.
Annotations: Describe how the visuals represent who you are as an artist; reflect on why you selected these elements; explain any experimental techniques or materials you used.
Design Cohesion: Thoughtfully arrange visuals and text in an engaging and balanced layout; use colors, fonts, and spacing to enhance readability and visual flow.

Steps to Complete the Assignment

Plan: Take 5 minutes to brainstorm what represents you as an artist, as a person, as a member of a community and beyond. Sketch or list items, images, and themes.
Create: Spend 30 minutes gathering and creating visual content (drawings, photos, or collages) that represent your identity.
Assemble: Use digital tools (e.g., Canva, Google Slides, Procreate, Notes+ etc.) or traditional methods (by hand - drawing etc.) to create your process slide. Include clear annotations where necessary.
Share: Present your slide to the class in 1–2 minutes, explaining your choices and process.

What am I looking for?

Clarity: Your annotations are concise, insightful, and easy to read.
Creativity: Your visuals are engaging and represent your artistic identity.
Presentation: The layout is visually cohesive and polished.
