G12 IB Art Tourner dans le vide During the first week of April, the senior students presented
their bodies of work in an event which is not only one of the IB exams but also an important landmark in the lives of student artists. They chose the title of this exhibition from a song (Indila, 2014) to aptly describe this exhibition as a celebration of the beauty and complexity of the human experience, as captured in the fragments and moments that make up our lives. The works explore the multiple possibilities of existence and the human experience of being suspended in the vast and infinite expanse of the void. The variety of perspectives on this theme are ranging from the contemplative to the playful, from the introspective to the hyperreal. The student artists have used a range of media, including painting, sculpture, digital art and photography to explore the emotions and experiences that shape our lives. This year we also had the wonderful opportunity to be accompanied by performances from Kyla as well as the Con Brio choir ensemble. The

students, together with Mr. Mark, were excited to perform and provide further expansionand introspection on the human experience through song. Also this year, the contagious motivation of all HS Art students conveyed through the Art club, the Culture club, the impressive improvement of the G10s and the enthusiasm of the G9s. The clubs took this opportunity to present some of the works achieved this year and highlight the works of the seniors: the Art club with a welcoming installation and the Language and Culture club with calligraphies reflecting on the seniors' exhibitions. As communicators but also risk takers, the G9 and G10 students selected their most achieved works, not only demonstrating their creativity and thinking skills but also their reflection skills. All the students were proud to have this unique occasion to display collectively their creativity,imagination, emotions and concepts. Their works invite the viewer to contemplate the human condition and find inspiration in the artists’ explorations of this timeless and universal theme. Ms. Jeanne Couaillier DP Art teacher
