IB Learner Profiles Risk Takers & Reflective 

 

IB Learner Profile Risk Takers: The IB Learner Profile Balance aims to develop learners who are risk takers. Our goal is to allow students to discover and understand the importance of taking risks with making art. Trying an idea out or changing our ideas are all taking risks in the creation of art and brainstorming ideas.  

 

Write 4 complete sentences on how you took some creative risks in this project (Scary Campus) :  

 

I took many creative risks throughout the Scary Campus project. An example of this is when I tried out new angles. Usually, I only photograph straight on, instead of tilted in any way, but I wanted to use a different angle to create a creepy effect. Another way I took a creative risk was when I edited pictures that were difficult for me to edit (that I wouldn’t normally attempt to edit).

 

IB Learner Profile Reflective: As IB learners we are Reflective learners. We think about what we learn and are able to look at what we are good at and in what ways we can improve.  

 

In reflecting on your Scary Campus Design, what are you good at?  I am good at cutting out objects and making them look realistic on a new background.

 

What could you improve in? I could have better time management and try to get more things done right away.
