The IBDP Visual Art Exhibition opened last night to great success and support from the AISG community! Our eleven Grade 12 IBDP Visual Art students spent the last two years working and developing their craft and it was a phenomenal show.

The exhibition is one of the criteria of the International Baccalaureate®  Diploma Programme (IBDP) Visual Art course and is a culmination of the students' artistic process and vision. From picking a theme and producing their own work to curating their own exhibition set up, the IB curriculum allows students to explore their creativity and execute their vision.

Students chose personal themes to convey their creativity. These included cultural and identity themes such as ‘Cultural Crisis’, ‘Chinese Beauty Standards’, ‘Deconstructing Cultural Perceptions’, ‘Reality vs. Virtual Identity’, and ‘Losing My Religion’. Some students chose more personal and emotional themes such as ‘The Cycle of Stress’, ‘The Nightmare of Insomnia’, and ‘Mental Suffering’. Other themes included ‘Creature of Habit’, There is Something Behind You’, and ‘The Form of Idioms’.

Congratulations to all the students who have worked hard to successfully complete the two-year IBDP Visual Art course! This incredible showcase marks the end of a rewarding journey. Well done!

Learn more about the IBDP Visual Art course

The IBDP Visual Art course provides an exciting opportunity for students to expand their knowledge about established artists, try out different art-making techniques, and explore ways of expressing themselves through artistic mediums. Through creating a process portfolio, students will be able to document and reflect on their journey, demonstrating their growth and understanding of the art world.

The exhibition counts for 40% of the total grade of the IBDP Visual Art course, with Standard Level students having to create 4-7 pieces of work, and Higher Level students having to create 8-11 pieces of work. This is accompanied by a curatorial rationale that they must present with their work to convey the idea behind it and why they chose their specific topic to communicate through their work. 

AISG's Visual and Performing Arts program is designed to provide our students with experiences to develop curiosity, interest, and enjoyment of their own creativity and an appreciation for others' work. Click here to learn more about The Arts at AISG.
