IB Visual Arts HL Internal Assessment Example

The student demonstrates sustained experimentation across a wide range of media and processes, and their material choices are usually closely tied to meaning.

The student's technical handling is often assured, especially where they explain how process decisions shaped the final image.

The student shows confidence in combining analogue and digital methods to support different visual intentions.

A few technical areas are not fully resolved, such as paint handling, adhesion, and occasional dependence on corrective post-production.

Some outcomes would be stronger if the student explained more precisely how specific problems affected the final visual result.

At times the refinement process could be made more deliberate by naming the next practical technique the student would test.

The student investigates a substantial range of artists and identifies relevant features in their practices with accuracy.

The student makes clear links between what they learned from other artists and how that shaped their own decisions.

The student's comparisons are often analytical rather than purely descriptive, especially when they explain how an artist’s approach changed their thinking.

Some artist discussions stay broad and would benefit from closer analysis of specific works.

At times the writing describes an artist’s method without fully explaining the exact formal choices the student adopted from it.

More precise visual comparison would make the influence on the student's own practice even clearer.
