IB Art: Investigation Workbook (IWB)

 

(aka: sketchbook or journal) An A4/ 8"x11" spiral-bound hard covered book is best.

Your workbook should be a comprehensive document that illustrates your artistic development and research. The purpose of the workbook is to encourage and record personally driven research and discovery that function interactively with independent art work. It should include a combination of writing and drawing.

These are some examples of successful pages. They may not all be perfect pages but they are good and they strive to meet the IB Markbands.
