Detailed Information
IB Visual Arts is a Group 6 course consisting of three core components: art-making, comparative study and process portfolio. Students examine art in different cultural contexts, produce original works using various techniques and mediums, and document their artistic development process.
HL students must use a minimum of 4 art-making forms, SL students a minimum of 2 (painting, sculpture, photography, digital art, printmaking, etc.). The comparative study compares works of at least 3 (HL) or 2 (SL) artists from different cultural contexts. TestPrep Visual Arts tutors provide one-on-one guidance on portfolio structuring, writing artistic intention statements and using academic sources in comparative studies. Support is given for curatorial rationale writing and work selection during exhibition preparation.
Core topics include Comparative study, Process portfolio and Exhibition; HL covers the SL core plus extra depth and an additional paper.
We combine concise topic notes, conceptual questions and past-paper practice, with a weekly error-log review.
It depends on the target grade and starting level; typically 1-2 hours of tutoring per week plus 3-5 hours of independent work.
No. The IB publishes one subject guide for every school worldwide, so paper structure and weightings are fixed; only the grade boundaries move each session. HL and SL sit different papers.
A screen-based comparison of artworks by different artists; HL adds a reflection on the candidate's own work
Screens of experimentation and development across at least three art-making forms
A curated selection of resolved artworks with a curatorial rationale; HL exhibits more pieces than SL
We agree on a topic that fits the student's interest and the IB assessment criteria.
Per-draft criterion-based written feedback (e.g. analysis, justification, language).
Correct citation, source management and originality checks.
First draft → tutor feedback → editing → final submission.

Errors are tagged conceptual/careless/timing and reviewed weekly.

During the intensive review, we returned to real gaps instead of restarting everything. I finally understood what was going wrong in IB Visual Arts. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see. A big thank you to my tutor for all the support :)
Seulgi Kwak
I was doing questions for IB Visual Arts on my own but never had a steady routine. Near the exam, it was clear what to keep doing and what to stop. Even in a group lesson, the tutor knew where each of us stood. Reviewing my work against the criteria changed the way I edited it. After a while, the questions started to feel much more familiar. Thanks to everyone who supported me.
Jack Pemberton
Breaking IB Visual Arts into smaller pieces worked much better for me. The feedback was clear enough that I always knew what to revise next. I found a better balance between regular school and exam preparation.

Keeping up with IB Diploma while school was busy was harder than I expected. Thanks to TestPrep for helping me stay on track.
Raul Loureiro
Online lessons made it possible to continue without losing time on travel. We would recommend the program to students and families in a similar situation.

The plan was adjusted when school exams became busy. It was good to see confidence returning over time. We thank the tutor and the TestPrep team.
Mitchell Newell
When I started preparing for IB Diploma, I wasn't sure what order to study things in. After a while, the questions started to feel much more familiar.
Yui Ono
After each test, we looked beyond the score and reviewed the type of each mistake. I finally understood what was going wrong in IB Visual Arts. After a while, the questions started to feel much more familiar. The preparation felt calmer than I expected.
Hayden Sutherland
As the exam got closer, I wasn't sure what I should actually review. The feedback I received on IB Visual Arts was clear and practical. The plan changed with my mock and homework results, so the work never felt random. Splitting time between research, making and editing kept the work manageable. My mock results gradually became more consistent. Thanks to everyone who supported me.
Bruno Cardenas
What annoyed me most was losing easy points because I rushed. I stopped doing a huge amount one week and nothing the next. Having the lesson move at my pace made the process feel much easier. Reviewing my work against the criteria changed the way I edited it. I found a better balance between regular school and exam preparation. I was really happy with the lessons.
Tomas Solis
Our child wasn't sure how to organize the preparation for IB Diploma. The lessons started being followed without constant reminders from us.
Zuzana Lund
I chose IB Visual Arts this year and wanted to build a solid base from the beginning. A big thank you to my tutor for all the support :)
Carter Gardner
The mocks showed where my time was actually being lost. I finally understood what was going wrong in IB Visual Arts. Knowing what to study reduced a lot of the stress. Thanks to everyone who supported me.
