IB Art Exhibit
Five IB II students and 85 works of art
filled up the Imad Taher auditorium in
April mesmerizing students and faculty
alike. For the past year and a half, the IB
students have been preparing for the Art
Exhibit – part of the IB program course-
work. Students not only showed off
their incredible talent but went through
a lot of soul searching to produce their
work reflecting on seperation issues, on
their relationships with their parents
and environment. One student made
an installation where she had several IV
tubes dropping ink reflecting the hypoc-
risy of society. To free herself from the
pent up anger, she wore a belt with paint
tubes attached all around. To the beat
of music, she danced and danced as the
pain dripped on the long canvas below.
“I splashed my anger and threw away my
rage” she writes explaining her “libera-
tion” piece. Other students dealt with the
issues of AIDS and Alzheimer diseases,
of lung cancer and smoking issues that
are slowly invading our society.
A vegetarian student witnessed the
gruesome slaughter of a cow and ex-
pressed her emotions and convictions.
A budding architect’s was so brilliantly
done that a visiting professional architect
offered then and now to build the con-
struction if the student signs the neces-
sary papers.
As dictated by the IB program, an IB of-
ficer flew in to inspect the students’ work.
The results will be out in early summer.
