The GW International Baccalaureate Visual Arts
The IB Visual Arts Program provides students with a range of opportunities to explore their creative and cultural boundaries. Students will develop their technical skills with a wide range of mediums while supporting these efforts through strong analytical research and exploration. Students explore and actively participate with a variety of practices and theories, and through it all will have developed an appreciation for the expressive diversity in the world around them, becoming informed makers and consumers of visual culture.
Students within the IB Diploma Programme visual arts program will learn:
All students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of how to use research and revision strategies to create a body-of-work that expresses a personalized artistic philosophy.

Through inquiry, investigation, reflection and creative application, visual arts students develop an appreciation for the expressive and aesthetic diversity in the world around them, becoming critically informed makers and consumers of visual culture.
