Visual Arts Courses
Art is a way of humans’ expressing themselves through various activities and it should be an indispensable part of each student’s life.
Through art, students get the opportunity to work individually and as a group to explore, describe, discuss a variety of topics; express their opinions and ideas; reach solutions and decisions; and reflect upon, understand and evaluate various works of art.
The art courses contribute to the education process by providing a unique method of learning that combines visual, sensory, auditory, cognitive perception and creativity in a strong means of communication.
The aims of visual arts education include developing students’ knowledge on visual and contextual aspects of art created by various cultures; promoting students’ understanding of quality through explorations with a variety of media and conducting of meaningful creative work; enabling the students to find out about themselves as well as about others by engaging in visual arts individually or as a group.
Our IB program implementations and yearly plans are organized in line with these targets and we conduct a large variety of activities to attain our goals. The international programs provide different and new perspectives in visual arts education.
IB ART
Art education requires both intellectual and emotional efficiency.
Visual arts education provides the students with opportunities to express themselves regarding various topics, to make critical interpretations and to develop creative thinking, which is an asset that they will resort to throughout their entire lives.
Visual Arts is an important component of the IB program and it requires the students to:
- familiarize with art concepts, art criticism and analysis,

IB’s vision entails providing the students with the opportunities to:

The aims of IB ART include enabling the students to:

- develop a comprehensive and interlinked perspective regarding the past and present forms of visual arts,
- explore the different languages of various media and use them accurately and creatively to improve quality,
- discover more about themselves and about the environment through collaborative work.
The two-year advanced Visual Arts program that we offer to exceptionally talented students consists of two components: studio work and research workbooks.
In studio work, students are provided with opportunities for the structured learning of the aesthetic qualities of visual arts and the relationship between form and meaning as well as for making personal experiments and explorations.
The research workbook component covers research, discovery, interpretation and media experiments. Furthermore, the workbooks are required to include visual and written documents in parallel with the studio work.
At the end of the two years, the students open an exhibition of studio work conducted throughout the program. For assessment, the exhibition and students’ research workbooks are seen and discussed by a visiting IB examiner.
