Year 9 artists from St Andrews International School Bangkok visited the Ancient City to draw and photograph interesting scenery.
On Wednesday 17 October Year 9 art students visited the Ancient City, known as Muang Boran, in Samut Prakan. The purpose of the trip was to collect visual information for their current thematic unit ‘Mindscape’ during which they investigate the Surrealist art movement. Students drew and photographed a variety of architectural and natural sights, including the Kuan Yin dragon statue and fountains. They also recorded observations at the temple of the Footprint of the Lord Buddha, a version of the temple in Saraburi. The students will go on to use their visual research to inform strange, dream-like images that they will create over the course of the term. In total we took over 160 students and without exception their attitude and application to the tasks was exemplary.
This week our ‘Artist of the Week’ award goes to Nan in Year 13, whose self-portrait suggests an inner narrative, created with personal and interesting use of symbolism. In the painting Nan depicts a classic head and shoulders composition, but discreetly swaps the body for mountains covered by a blanket of tree foliage. This is one of her studio pieces that will form her IB Visual Arts exhibition in March 2019.
As part of the St Andrews Careers programme, Year 10 and Year 12 students had the valuable opportunity to hear from 20 industry professionals, including alumni, about various career pathways. The morning panel discussions provided insights into professional routes, required qualifications, and essential interpersonal skills for workplace success.
As Term 3 comes to an end, three senior students, Eleonore, Natalie, and Ananya, reflect on their experiences in the IB Diploma Programme at St Andrews International School Bangkok. Perhaps one of the most meaningful projects Ananya and Natalie took on during their senior studies was starting a foundation with a few other friends called Today4tomorrow – an initiative to provide opportunities to underprivileged girls in Thailand.
Congratulations to St Andrews senior student Natalie, who received an offer at the University of Bath to pursue a degree in Psychology. Have a read to learn more about Natalie’s perspective on the IB Diploma Programme and the endless possibilities that await her exploration.
Congratulations to senior student Ananya, who received an offer at University College London to pursue a degree in Politics and International Relations. We discussed her experience during the IB Diploma Programme at St Andrews and her ideas and aspirations for the future. Read on!
