In addition to this they will gain an understanding of ceramic and sculptural methods by studying these and applying some of them in their own work.

Nothing is truly original.

Scientific and Technical Innovation

Students will look into the advent of Post Modernism, where artists began to revert back to appropriating aspects of previously disregarded modernist art movements. This unit emphasises the importance of retrospection; of looking back on what has happened in the past, to assist in planning how to approach events in the future. As the culmination of their MYP experience, when creating their own work, students will be encouraged to consider contemporary art practices, as well as the media areas, artists, art movements and designers they have studied to this point.
