Visual Arts Curriculum overview and Assessment: Duration: 1 Quarter (7 timetabled lessons over a twoweek period). Course Overview: Our program in MYP1 is designed to give Students a comprehensive introduction to the Visual Arts in the Middle Years Program at CIS. The course includes a wide variety of exercises practising the principles of Art with specific emphasis on Drawing, and encourages Students to express themselves creatively. Students will be introduced to the habit of using a personal Developmental Workbook and to a theoretical and practical knowledge and understanding of the Creative Cycle, which are used extensively throughout all grade levels of the Middle Years Program. Detailed Objectives: Students will document all research, notes and preparatory drawings in their Developmental Workbooks. Students will use a variety of graphite pencils. Students will make observational drawings with particular focus upon line and contour and different techniques of shading. Students will make Imaginative and Illustrative drawings. Students will be introduced to the Creative Cycle and will prepare and execute a unit of inquiry utilising all phases of the cycle. Students will paint a value scale from black to white, and execute and original gouache painting in greyscale based upon one of the drawing exercises. Students will learn about Composition and its importance or the creation of a 2D artwork. NB: The above outline is subject to change Assessment Criteria: A grade based on 17 scale will be awarded based upon evaluation with regard to the following: Developmental Workbooks. “Criteria A, B, C & D” Completion of all tasks culminating in the production of original artwork. “Criteria A & B” Knowledge and Understanding of the project; and the ability to follow directions. “Crit.

MYP1 Science Science Department Philosophy Statement The sciences and their methods of investigation offer a way of learning through inquiry that can contribute to the development of an analytical and critical way of thinking. MYP science emphasizes the role of inquiry and encourages the development of not only scientific inquiry skills but also transferable thinking skills. MYP sciences encourages the development of a scientific way of knowing that enables students to investigate, understand and explain the world they live in. This scientific way of knowing encompasses two types of understanding: conceptual understanding and procedural understanding. Conceptual understanding is concerned with the development of scientific knowledge and an indepth understanding of the main scientific ideas and concepts of science. Procedural understanding is concerned with the skills and processes that students need to develop to understand how science and scientists work and to evaluate scientific evidence. Conceptual understanding and procedural understanding cannot be developed independently. Students’ understanding of the skills and processes used in science enables them to construct their understanding of concepts, and this insight provides the driving force for the development of further scientific inquiries. MYP sciences aim to help students develop personal attitudes. Students should be aware of wider world issues and have a sense of their responsibilities as individuals, towards others and towards the natural and manmade environment. It is expected that students’ engagement, interest and enjoyment in science will foster a positive response to science and contribute to the development of opinionforming, decisionmaking as well as ethicalreasoning skills. Science education in MYP1 aspires to the Aims and Objectives as prescribed by the <strong>International</strong> Baccalaureate Organisation (I.B.O.) Objectives The objectives reflect those parts of the aims which will be assessed. It is convenient to classify them under five broad headings, which correspond to the assessment criteria. A One World B Communication in Science C Knowledge and Understanding of Science D Scientific Enquiry E Processing Data F Attitudes in Science 27
