Works in Progress Dec 08

Students have been working towards finishing a number of pieces before their practice oral exam during exam week. The following voicethread includes both student and teacher comments and gives some insight into the work of the IB art class. It also serves as practice and a group critique as students will be able to see each other's work and hear ideas behind the research and studio pieces.

The Natural World - using the environment to inform concepts and artwork.

Students explored a range of artists who incorporate elements from the landscape or integrate the landscape into their work. They created their own proposals and works of art that integrated both elements of the landscape as well as integrating the work of art itself into the landscape. The resulting works incorporated their personal themes and the environment in and around Sungai Slim, Malaysia. See the full assignment at http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dghfkfdm_0h44vn8gn

The portfolio of work and student comments can be viewed in the following voicethread file.
