St Andrews International School Bangkok Art Department proudly presents the 8th International Baccalaureate Visual Arts Exhibition. This year’s annual exhibition celebrates the work of 9 young artists who have curated a diverse show of traditional and contemporary media, including painting, sculpture, video and digital art.
Diploma students have risen to the unique challenges of working through periods of extended home learning, developing work in response to and in resistance to the pandemic, culminating in this highly individual yet homogeneous set of creative experiences. The exhibition journeys into a range of personal thematic responses from the chaotic environment to the fading of memories. Holding the exhibition in an external space also represents a celebration of liberty and graduation. Welcome to OUT.

St Andrews Bangkok High School Art Department
Our philosophy and direction in St Andrews Bangkok High School Art Department is led by the wish to promote three key areas: breadth of study, understanding of context and inclusivity. Our curriculum at IB level and across the other key stages is designed to provide students with a growing range of positive experiences in art-making processes, techniques, materials and media. Photography and digital lens-based media have been key areas of development this year and form a large part of the work we do. We also embrace the idea of teaching traditional and tactile media, processes and techniques, such as ceramics, sculpture, printing and textiles.
Our focus in Visual Art is to provide a range of experiences across the art disciplines within which media and techniques are explored. By the final year, students set their own targets and are encouraged to aim high. Visual Arts provide opportunities for students to develop different approaches to the practices of visual arts and are encouraged to develop their own perspectives and approaches. Students’ interests and aesthetic preferences play a prominent role in determining individual courses of study. Contextual and critical study of past, present-day and emerging practices should be integrated into studio work.
