Welcome to IB Visual Arts!

Welcome to IB discipuli!

The International Baccalaureate and The Brooklyn Latin School are proud to offer an intense two-year course in Visual Arts. This space will act as the forum for discipuli to receive course updates and share resources (web-based and around the NYC community). Please check back regularly for the most up-to-date information.

Another important aspect of this site is the declaration of each discipulus as the amazing artist that he/she truly is. We will share our experiences and works of art.

I'm looking forward to working with everyone over the next two years. Hopefully soon you will blog about your art, experiences, events and findings in the arts.
