The Eisenhower International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme is hosting a Visual Arts Showcase and Silent Auction from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 24. 

IB Visual Arts junior and senior students were presented with “big questions and ideas” about art, society, cultures, and the world. From that prompt, students created artwork around topics that interested them, while being challenged by the supportive constructive criticisms of their classmates and staff.

The showcase will feature more than 70 student artworks, ranging from realistic to abstract, conceptual, architectural, narrative, photographic, cyanotypes and more. The students are exhibiting their artwork in preparation for their final portfolio submission. 

Additionally, the silent auction will feature two student artworks that were selected specifically for the auction.

Alex Baltazar’s “Moo’s Meadow” (Description: Cows and Red Barn) is 16″x9″ inches in a 24″x18″ mat and glass frame

Jennifer Gonzalez “Eat More Chikn” (Zoomed in Portrait of Red and White Cow) is 8″x10″ in a mat and glass frame

While these two artworks were chosen for the silent auction, those in attendance are more than welcome to discuss purchasing artwork from the other students during the event. 

The IB Diploma Programme is rigorous, academically challenging and designed to prepare students ages 16 to 19 for success at university and life beyond. The programme aims to encourage students to be knowledgeable, inquiring, caring and compassionate, and to develop intercultural understanding, open-mindedness and the attitudes necessary to respect and evaluate a range of viewpoints.
