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.

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.

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).
