IB Art Exhibit
IB2 art program boasted 10 stu-
dents this year exhibiting their
work.
“The program is becoming
more and more popular,” said
Samia Boulad, head of the Art
Department. “Every year, we
have more students joining.”
Every year, IB students ex-
hibit their work in all kinds of
media – the essence of their
entire IB art program. Each
student is required to submit
between 12 and 18 art works
accompanied by their ‘investi-
gation workbook.’
Their workbooks explain in
details the before, during and
after thoughts and techniques
they used to produce their
work. It also includes the hurdles
they encountered and ways they
overcame them.
“For many, these art works became
a way for students to discover them-
selves or explore an issue very deep-
ly,” said Boulad. “They are the ones
who chose their themes. My role was
the facilitator.”
Indeed, judging by the artworks and
the workbooks, many students seem
to have gone through a roller coaster
of emotions.
The result was a brilliant exhibit.
An international IB examiner arrived
in Lebanon in March and held an “ex-
ternal assessment exam” – a one to
one session with each student.
Results will be out in early summer.
