Make the (first assessment 2027) IB DP Visual Arts requirements crystal clear with two print-ready PDFs—one for SL, one for HL. Each page summarizes the purpose, formal requirements (screens, words, files), and weightings for the three IB components, aligned to the official Visual arts guide. Use them from day one to set expectations, during the course for check-ins, and at submission time to avoid last-minute mistakes.
Use in conjunction with the IB “Visual arts assessment criteria tables” from the Teacher support material for calibration, success criteria, and feedback alignment.
Prompts to state word counts and to include the separate sources file reflect the formal requirements in the guide.
