Art is a means of understanding the outside world and our inner world. At UAS, the exploration of these worlds through art begins in Early Childhood and continues through High School. The Visual Arts curriculum balances understanding and applying artistic techniques, as well as art-making and art appreciation.

In Early Childhood, we embed art into each of the project units. Students use art to explore unit themes and build literacy skills, such as letter recognition and sequencing. Art is a vehicle for students to express creatively their thoughts and feelings.

Primary school students explore the elements and principles of art through sculpture, drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, and other mediums. They acquire the language and observational skills to appreciate and create their own art. In secondary school, they further develop their techniques and delve into the foundations of art. They work with a wide range of alternatives and begin to creatively utilize technology through digital photography and graphic design on the computer. In addition to producing aesthetically pleasing artworks, they engage with global themes, learning to employ visual arts as a means of communication to raise awareness.

 

Students in IB Visual Arts cultivate their aesthetic, imaginative, and expressive abilities through practical studio work, as well as in-depth investigation and critical analysis of art styles and movements. Students refine their observational powers and compositional understanding to create cohesive and creative pieces.
