IB SL I and II
Description: This is a two-year
course based on the student’s studio work and research workbooks.
Studies can be undertaken in one of the following: Ceramics, Drawing
and Painting, Photography**, Printmaking or Sculpture. During the
first year, students explore a variety of techniques, concepts,,
and materials basic to the selected discipline, i.e. Ceramics, Drawing
and painting, Photography, Printmaking or Sculpture. In the second
year students expand on work done in the first year. Emphasis is
on personal expression, discovery, and growth. There will be mandatory
field trips as appropriate throughout the two years of study. The
body of work submitted must consist of two parts:
1. Studio Work which constitutes
70% of assessment, and
2. Research Workbook/Journal containing both visual and written
information relating to and complements the studio work and which
constitutes 30% of the assessment.
The student also prepares a record
booklet which is sent to the Chief Examiner. The booklet includes
photographs of the work and personal commentary. At the end of the two years each
student prepares an exhibition of his/her studio work and research
workbooks and discusses the work with an IB examiner who will visit
the school.
The content of this course is similar
to Higher Level Art and Design, but it is not expected that the
work be of similar maturity.
Credit: 1 per year
Length of course: 2 years
Recommendations: Recommended but not required one or two
years of study in elected subject prior to the commencement of the
IB
