10周年記念

ユナイテッド・ワールド・カレッジISAKジャパンの芸術プログラムは、ビジュアルアート、演劇、映画を通じて創造性を育み、生徒がさまざまな媒体を探究し、パフォーマンスに参加し、理論と実践をバランス良く学ぶ機会を提供します。音楽は正式な学習科目ではありませんが、それでもキャンパスライフの活気ある一部として続けられており、生徒が自身の音楽的才能を発揮することを奨励し、教育における芸術の重要な役割を強調しています。

芸術とは、あなたが見るものではなく、
but what 他人に見せるものです。

ビジュアルアート

経験豊富なアーティストでも初心者でも、本校のプログラムはそれぞれのニーズを満たすように設計されています。絵を描く能力は必須ではなく、写真、絵画、3D、印刷、スクリーンアートなど、自分の心に響く表現方法を自由に選ぶことができます。11年生は、設定されたプロジェクトを通じてさまざまな技術とスキルを学び、12年生になると展覧会に向けてた作品を制作することに焦点を当てます。iPad Pro、Apple Pencil、Adobe Creative Cloudなどのツールを利用することで、デジタルで自由に作業することができます。このプログラムで成功するための最も重要なスキルは、創作が好きなこと、そして若いアーティストの役割を担おうとする意欲です。

No, drawing can be a useful method of visual planning and communication, but there is nocomponent in Visual Arts that demands it.

Yes. The choice of medium for the exhibition is up to you. We will cover other forms of art making, such as 3D, printing, painting and screen-based in the first part of the course, but after that you specialize – and your specialism could be photography

In G11, there are a number of set projects exploring different mediums, techniques and developing skills. In all of these, there is always huge scope for personal interpretation. There are also two written components – a comparison of artworks, and a journal that documents your creative process. These are both worked on in G11, leaving the majority of G12 to work in the studio on the exhibition.

Attitudes are more important actually. You should enjoy making and being creative, and enjoy being able to choose what to do and how to do it. There is a lot of creative freedom, and students take on the role of young artists rather than traditional students.

Yes, you can choose to focus on digital art for your exhibition work. The Art Room iPAD PROs with apple pencils to support digital work, and all students have access to Adobe Creative Cloud, which includes programmes such as Illustrator and Photoshop. There is a large scale printer in the Art Room to allow digital work to be printed for exhibition.

演劇

本校のIB演劇プログラムで、わくわくするよう創造性とコラボレーションの体験をしてみましょう。このユニークなプログラムは、リスクを取りながらも試行錯誤を重ねて、ライブでオリジナリティのある芸術を生み出す機会を提供します。自己認識、自信、分析力を育みながら、演劇の主要な理論と伝統を理解します。コースは、「演劇の文脈」「演劇のプロセス」「演劇の上演」という相互に関連した3つの要素を含んでいます。書く作業ははコースの不可欠な部分であり、日記は演劇プロセスすべてにおいて重要なツールとなります。授業はパフォーマンスと理論のバランスをとりつつ、困難でありながら非常にやりがいのあるものです。

Theatre offers the unique opportunity of working creatively and collaboratively to produce live, original moments of art. Studying theatre in the IB DP is about taking risks, discovering through experiment, researching and applying knowledge of global theatrical traditions and theories, presenting ideas to others through live theatre, and reflecting on the process of making theatre. Taking theatre will help you develop greater self-awareness and confidence, hone your analytical skills, understand the major theories and theorists of the theatre, show you the dynamic and changing nature of art, and nurture a lifelong love of theatre arts.

The course is composed of three interconnected elements:

  1. Theatre in Context
  2. Theatre Processes
  3. Performing Theatre

These elements will be found in every aspect of the course and assessment pieces. This means that we will always strive to move from foundational understandings of the environments out of which theatre is developed to theories that undergird the art form, and from those theories into practical application in our own work.

A central part of the course and a critical aspect of collaborative work will be an engagement with the major processes of theatre. These include:

  • Creating – devising original works, ideating with established play texts
  • Designing – exploring mise-en-scene, light & sound design, set design, costumes and props
  • Directing – determining and executing a vision for a moment of original or established theatre
  • Performing – exploring movement, voice, facial expression, gesture, and action
  • Spectating – reading, analysing, critiquing and responding to live theatre

All students will have the opportunity to explore these areas in practical ways through
units, activities, and assessments which push their creative and critical abilities.

While innate acting talent may seem a necessary (or at least helpful) attribute for succeeding in IB Theatre, it is your ability to take risks, to analyse, to be open to new approaches to expressing ideas on stage, to work and play positively and collaboratively with others that will best serve you.

Nope! While rehearsals are an essential part of theatre and we will work on projects that culminate in live performance, we will also engage in other tasks including:

  • Play text analysis
  • Research into world theatre traditions
  • Study and application of theories of theatre
  • Design and set construction
  • Costume, prop, mask, and makeup design
  • Technical experience with sound, lights, and projections

映画

IBの映画クラスは、視覚的な映画の言語を理解し、分析し、それに貢献することができるユニークで楽しい学習体験です。創造的な人もそうでない人も、基礎から教えてもらいながら、クリティカルシンキングと問題解決の能力を身につけます。授業は、歴史と講義、映画の分析と議論、さまざまな課題とプロジェクトを通じた実践的な映画体験を交えながら、理論と創造のバランスをとりつつ進めていきます。全員が自分の映画を作り、得た知識を応用することで、クラスはより充実したものとなるのです。

By taking this course, you will be able to understand, analyze and contribute to the visual language that surrounds us on a daily basis. Film is a powerful medium to communicate ideas, and studying it leads to a deeper insight into the ideas that film coveys, and the way in which those ideas are told. Film is relevant to a myriad of subjects; at times, film class feels like it could be English, History, TOK, or Global Politics class. The interdisciplinary connections one is able to make in film class is part of the reason why the class is so unique.

To me, film class is the study of how meaning and purpose are conveyed through visual language.

There are no prerequisites for IB Film – by taking this course you will learn how to make film and improve upon your skills over the two-year period, you will be taught ground up starting from the basics.

As long as you have a positive mindset and are willing to challenge yourself, you will be fine. Studying film requires you to be a critical thinker and a problem-solver. Creating film is enjoyable and satisfying, and is something everybody has the potential to do.

The class is quite fun and interesting especially with the hands on film experiences gained.

We study the history of film and learn how film is meaningful and powerful. Through that, we apply them to reality with quick assignments as well as summative project. Of course, we look at films and analyze them, enriching our knowledge in film and see the knowledge we studied applies in famous work.

音楽

音楽は本校の正式なコースではありませんが、それでも学校文化の活気ある一部として活発に行われています。キャンパスにはさまざまな楽器と施設が装備されているため、生徒たちは音楽的な創造力を発揮することができます。さらに、多くの学生主導の音楽クラブに参加し、軽井沢地域の他のミュージシャンと一緒に活動することができます。ミュージシャンたちは毎年数回、著名な大賀ホールでパフォーマンスを披露しており、生徒がイベントに招待され参加する機会も多くあります。
