IB Artists’ Work to be Featured, Program Explained

“Release”
by Isabella Zepeda, IB Art Exhibition
12″ x 9″
Medium:  Origami Paper, Construction Paper, Indian Ink and Pen

Description: At night is a wonderful time to feel, and let go when in the solace of quiet and slumber. A large oversized sweater to comfort, and the moon, whatever phase, to keep company.

 

This is an example of one IB learner’s assessment work for the IB Art Programme.  Year Two learners had to curate and present an exhibition of their work, as well as write a rationale of the pieces they chose for their exhibition. If you would like to see more from this talented artist, as well as from our other seniors, their work will be on display at the Expresstival on May 19.

“The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Diploma Programme (DP) is recognized and respected by the world’s leading universities, and evidence suggests that higher rates of DP students go on to university and higher education study than non-IB students.” (www.ibo.org)  IB’s DP Programme emphasizes critical thinking, social emotional learning and global citizenship, and provides our learners with a program that will prepare them for the rigors of college and university life. How does IB prepare students for for success?  Watch this brief video, and join us next Thursday, May 18, as we review the IB DP Programme at SCVi.

While 10th graders (incoming Year One DP students) might be most interested in attending, we welcome 9th and middle grade families who may want to learn more about our IB DP Program. Questions? Contact cheryl.sena@scvi-k12.org.
