IB Visual Arts Summer Program

[TheFlorenceArtStudio]

I am a former IB student, and now an administrator at an art school in Florence, Italy. We have been working with the International School of Florence to put together a summer program focused on helping the students at the school here, but we also want to invite students from around the world (max 15).

The point of the program is to give students the opportunity to hone their technical skills (re: DRAW!) at a time when they are not stressed out with other school obligations or activities. After meeting repeatedly with the IB VA teacher here, and having some weekend workshops where the students really enjoyed their time and produced great work, but were obviously stressed, we decided that it would be best to give a go at a summer program instead.

I encourage instructors, parents and students to have a look at the webpage I created to describe the program, and welcome any comments or feedback you all may have. The structure of the program will be mornings spent in the Studio working on technical drawing skills, with afternoons spent out in the city of Florence exploring, walking around, and discussing the history and culture of the Italian Renaissance. We of course will encourage students to document every aspect of the program for inclusion in their IB workbook.

There are still spaces in the program so please pass on this link if you know someone who may be interested.

Hello,

Would you have to be a current IB student to apply for this? Because I am doing my IB exams this coming May and will be graduating high school in June! Also, would you have to be a visual arts student to apply for this?

Thanks

Would this count towards creativity hours for CAS?
