Part 1: Workbook Write Up
You will pick between one of the following workbook write up assignments. Bonus points if you can fit both of them into your summer plans. As we enter into senior year it is time to really step up the creative investigation you are pursuing in your workbooks. This is a huge chunk of your final IB submission grade.
You may choose between a studying Composition in Art as an artistic tool and studying the artist Kehinde Wiley and his work with remastered historical portraits.
Make sure you are documenting your progress in workbook.  The workbook will be the way that IB assesses the ways you develop and work towards producing work. It focuses on the use of materials, ideas, and practices.
Part 2: Museum Visit
Over the summer break you should visit an ART MUSEUM! There are many local art museum around Dallas and Fort Worth. There are some suggestions below of some great art museums below. Think about carpooling and going as a group for more fun. Make sure to check the website before you go to check out special exhibitions and make sure they are open the day you visit.
- Dallas Museum of Art: free admission every day. Student discounts available for special exhibitions.
- Crowe Museum of Art: free admission every day. Across the DMA & Nasher. Focus on Asian art.
- Meadows Museum of Art at SMU: $10 for adults and $4 for students. Free on Thursday after 5 p.m. Focus on Spanish artists and artwork.
- Kimbell Art Museum: free admission. Discounts available for exhibitions.
- The Modern: $4 for students
Reflect on artists, specific thing you saw at the museum, and think about how the experience can impact your own art making. What did you aesthetically like and what did you dislike? Think analytically– more than descriptive what you liked and didn’t like. How can other artist’s work impact your own? Were there social/cultural influences? You should have at least 2-3 full pages that are insightful, detailed and creative. Email Mrs. Kinlaw at kinlawc@cfbisd.edu with any questions.
