"If someone were to ask me two years ago whether or not the IB DP Visual Art programme is difficult, I would have said that Art is the easiest subject in the International Baccalaureate programme. However, after finishing this course, I can proudly say that I have conquered one of the most demanding, strenuous, and rewarding programs. (...) I would never exchange this experience for any other."
-Laura Tsai, Grade 12 |

The emphasis of the IB DP Visual Arts programme is to challenge students to think out-of-the-box and create thought-provoking art pieces while incorporating fundamental rules of design and elements of art.
This challenging and demanding course provides an intellectually rigorous, studio-based experience.
