ART in PYP P Y P P Y P Right after becoming a PYP candidate school, we believe that arts education is an inseparable part of PYP. Art is a powerful form of communication that helps the students understand the world around them. It provides them with moments of creativity and a continuous cycle of actions and thinking to perform experiments. In this respect, the students develop an interest in the work they have accomplished. As a result, they gain the opportunity to become good critical thinkers. In this month’s 1st grade Visual Arts class, we did activities on “Discipline” with regards to “Japan” and under the theme “WHO WE ARE”. İrem AYAZ
