IB Diploma Visual Art Programme Course Outlines



IB Diploma Programme course outlines
Teachers responsible for each proposed subject must prepare a course outline following the guidelines below. While IB subject guides will be used for this exercise, teachers are expected to adapt the information in these guides to their own school’s context. Please be sure to use IBO nomenclature throughout. The name of the teacher(s) who wrote the course outline must be recorded at the top of the outline.
Name of the teacher who prepared the outline:
Mr. Saurabh Bhatt
Name of the course:
IB VISUAL ARTS (Grade 11-12 (HL & SL))
Course description:
Within IB Visual Art students will:
·         · develop the skills and techniques of investigation—both visual and written
·         · relate art to its cultural and historical contexts
·         · explore art concepts
·         · explore art elements
·         · develop and use the processes of art criticism and analysis
·         · develop confidence and expertise in the use of various media
·         · extend their knowledge of design
·         · share their work with an audience through displays and exhibitions or presentations
·         · extend individual investigation to inform practical work
·         · make connections between ideas and practice—both their own and others’.
Students will do the above through the use of investigation work books (IWBs) which
will provide the research, designs, and concepts of their studio work.
Within grade 11 students will follow set units of work which will gradually become
more personal allowing the student to explore their own interests and ideas. Grade
12 students will see a continuation of this with students developing their own body of
work in preparation for their final exhibition.
Objectives
The aims of the visual arts course at HL and SL are to enable students to:
investigate past, present and emerging forms of visual arts and engage in producing,
appreciating and evaluating these
·         develop an understanding of visual arts from a local, national and international perspective
·         build confidence in responding visually and creatively to personal and cultural experiences
·         develop skills in, and sensitivity to, the creation of works that reflect active and individual involvement take responsibility for the direction of their learning through the acquisition of effective working practice

Note: Even though the assessment content in HL and SL is identical, the greater amount of time spent in HL is expected to result in more sustained growth and commitment.
Candidate Record Booklet (CRB), for moderation purposes must contain:

           a statement by the candidate (maximum 300 words)

           a short statement by the teacher to justify the mark allocated for the internally assessed component
           a photographic record of the selected studio work
           A4/letter-size copies of the selected investigation workbook pages.

The interview with candidates to talk about their work will be recorded.

From May 2013, candidate art work will be submitted electronically and marked on screen. Other exam materials such as the CRB and interview recordings will also be sent electronically.

Visual arts and prior learning

The Diploma Programme visual arts course is designed to offer students the opportunity to build on prior experience while encouraging them to develop and use new skills, techniques and ideas. While it is possible to take the Diploma Programme visual arts course without previous experience, this is helpful, particularly at HL option A (HLA).

Quote from IBDP Visual Arts Guide for First Examinations 2009




REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRY

1)            Students must have scored at least a grade “C” for IGCSE Art and Design to offer Visual Arts at
