PLACEMENT IN THIS COURSE REQUIRES APPROVAL BY THE DEPARTMENT CHAIR/IB COORDINATOR.
This course engages students in a wholly creative experience of the path artists embrace as a vital part of the creative process. Each student discovers the artist within and develops a body of work that is both personal and relevant to the current times in which we live.
Each student keeps their thoughts and ideas in a visual art journal, which becomes an invaluable tool in the creative process. Studio work involves practical exploration and artistic production. Investigative work involves independent contextual, visual, and critical investigation, and both visual and written reflection. As a culmination of the program, each student has a formal showing of their work.
