Artistic expression is a fundamental tool in the development of students. Aware of this, the Visual Arts students of the 2nd year of the Diploma Programme (International Baccalaureate -IB) have presented their work in an exhibition that reflects their talent, effort and academic growth.
CREATIVITY AND TALENT FOR ALL TO ENJOY
The exhibition, located in the Assembly Hall of Casvi Villaviciosa International School, is open to the public during school hours and displays a wide variety of creations: paintings, sculptures, photographs and interdisciplinary projects that combine different techniques and materials. It was inaugurated in the presence of our headmaster, Juan Luis Yagüe, our teachers and also our families. And sponsored by the photographer Tino Morán, a multidisciplinary artist from Vilaviciosa de Odón.
Ultimately, this exhibition is not only a celebration of art. It is also a demonstration of the positive impact that visual education has on the holistic education of students.
WHAT ARE THE VISUAL ARTS AND WHAT IMPACT DO THEY HAVE ON EDUCATION?
According to the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO), the Visual Arts ‘are an integral part of everyday life and are present at all levels of human expression, communication and understanding’. Their teaching enables students to develop their creativity, critical thinking and analytical skills.
En el Programa del Diploma del IB, la asignatura de Artes Visuales desafía a los estudiantes a explorar y experimentar con diversas prácticas artísticas. A través del proceso de investigación y creación, los alumnos aprenden a cuestionar sus propias expectativas y a desarrollar su identidad artística. Además, fortalecen habilidades fundamentales como la resolución de problemas, el pensamiento divergente y el dominio técnico de diferentes medios y formatos.
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE VISUAL ARTS IN SOCIETY?
The Visual Arts not only fulfil an aesthetic function, but also play a crucial role in society.
- They contribute to critical reflection on the environment, the expression of ideas and emotions and the construction of cultural identity.
- They also encourage intercultural dialogue and the development of new forms of communication in a globalised world.
At Casvi Villaviciosa, we understand that art is a powerful tool for learning. Through Visual Arts education, our students not only discover their creative talent. They also acquire essential skills for their academic and professional future.
THE IMPACT OF THE IB DIPLOMA PROGRAMME ON ARTS EDUCATION
The IB Diploma Programme is designed to develop students with a critical and creative mindset, capable of meeting the challenges of the 21st century. Through Visual Arts, students explore a wide range of techniques and develop skills that transcend the artistic realm.
The benefits of DP include:
- Depth of knowledge: Students not only create art, but also investigate its meaning and historical context.
- Integral development: Promotes autonomy, critical thinking and problem solving.
- Exploration of knowledge: Relates the Visual Arts to other disciplines such as history, technology and sociology.
- Preparation for higher education: International research shows that IB students have higher success rates at university.
