IB Art Exhibit
Five IB II students and 85 works of art filled up the Imad Taher auditorium in April mesmerizing students and faculty alike. For the past year and a half, the IB students have been preparing for the Art Exhibit – part of the IB program coursework. Students not only showed off their incredible talent but went through a lot of soul searching to produce their work reflecting on seperation issues, on their relationships with their parents and environment. One student made an installation where she had several IV tubes dropping ink reflecting the hypocrisy of society. To free herself from the pent up anger, she wore a belt with paint tubes attached all around. To the beat of music, she danced and danced as the pain dripped on the long canvas below. “I splashed my anger and threw away my rage” she writes explaining her “liberation” piece. Other students dealt with the issues of AIDS and Alzheimer diseases, of lung cancer and smoking issues that are slowly invading our society.
A vegetarian student witnessed the gruesome slaughter of a cow and expressed her emotions and convictions. A budding architect’s was so brilliantly done that a visiting professional architect offered then and now to build the construction if the student signs the necessary papers.
As dictated by the IB program, an IB officer flew in to inspect the students’ work. The results will be out in early summer.
