The student created a cumulative collection of artistic research and investigation throughout a Visual Arts course.
This is the cumulative collection of a student’s artistic research and investigation, the Investigation Workbook, the summative deliverable in IB Visual Arts course. It is a collection of ideas, critiques, drawings, materials explorations, and reflections.
The student’s engagement with visual arts is readily apparent: he is creative, curious, and rigorous in his investigations. He questions and challenges social norms and responds through the creation of visual representations. Not only is he observing and recording, he is analyzing the work of others and synthesizing their methodologies into his own, generating his own work and reflecting upon it.
I can examine evidence from various perspectives to analyze and make well-supported judgments and interpretations about complex issues.
I can determine my own framework and criteria for tasks that involve critical thinking. I can compile evidence and draw reasoned conclusions. I can consider views that do not fit with my beliefs. I am open minded and patient, taking the time to explore, discover, and understand. I can make choices that will help me create my intended impact on an audience or situation. I can place my work and that of others in a broader context. I can connect the results of my inquiries and analyses to action.
