Baltimore School for the Arts – IB Fibers and Textile Design II

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

IB Fibers and Textile Design II applies processes of artistic expression in creating textiles and fiber works using fiber and fiber-related media, techniques, and processes to prepare students for the International Baccalaureate program. This course helps students understand the suitability of design to materials and the artist’s intent in creating textile works of art. Students will create their own work following and breaking from traditional conventions for submission to the IB. This course also includes the study of the history of fiber and textile art from a worldwide perspective. Students respond to their art and that of others including professional fiber artists through analysis, critique, and interpretation for the purpose of reflecting on and refining work. Prerequisite: Open to students who qualify for IB courses and have passed Visual Art-Comprehensive, Painting and Drawing I, or any of the Level I Visual Art courses.
