Thomas Kelly College Preparatory – IB Sl/Hl Visual Arts I

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Theory and practice in visual arts are dynamic and ever-changing, and connect many areas of study and human experience through individual and collaborative production and interpretation. This course enables students to engage in both practical exploration and artistic production, and in independent contextual, visual and critical investigation. The course is designed to enable students to study visual arts in higher education and also welcomes those students who seek life enrichment through visual arts. Students at HL have the opportunity to develop ideas and skills, and to produce a larger body of work, or work of greater depth. Students are assessed both externally and internally.
