What is art? It is a kind of a mirror. It reflects people’s feelings. It never cries while we are laughing or it never shines when we are surrounded by black clouds. This is why art is so important. People have to express themselves. Art helps people with that. It is shaped by imagination and the thoughts of people, so we feel relaxed after art classes. All of our problems disappear because we destroy them by our pencils. Elif ANIK Prep-A IB Visual Art is totally a seminal course for the students. Before I was taking this course, I was nervous about myself. I had really hard and long decision time to decide whether should I take the IB Visual Art course or not. I was interested in Visual Art so I just encouraged myself and finally I took the course. In the curriculum, you have lots of enjoyable works to do. In the beginning, I compared many artists and tried to learn their techniques and unique styles. In that time period, I could not perfectly show my talent. After that part, it was tough but amusing times. I believe that I widen my perspective towards the world. Seeing the tiny little objects with an artist’s view of point makes the students confident for themselves. As an only IB Visual Art student, I strongly suggest you to take this course if you want to watch the world from a different window. Let me start this description of art class by mentioning the “Dead Frog” which belongs to Mr. Paul. He told us that he just found it in the empty class next door. Nobody knows how it got there but I mostly wonder why Mr. Paul still keeps that. If I didn’t meet him before or had a breakfast with him, I would probably imagine a crazy old man who lives alone and scares children for having fun by reading this text. Well, most of the things that I wrote are true but he has a talent to make people love art. Even if you hate him (most probably you hate him because of the low grades) you will love art while you are drawing something in his class with never ending classical music. If I had a chance to see the world from his eyes, I wouldn’t think twice to say yes. I remember his presentation about the art club, he said “Fly with me”. It is not hard to feel that you’re flying in just 40 minutes. So don’t waste it by talking unnecessary things in his lesson.
