In an increasingly complex world, creativity, critical thinking, and self-expression have become essential life skills. The IBDP Visual Arts programme at CPS Global School, Thirumazhisai nurtures these competencies by encouraging students to engage with art as a process of inquiry, exploration, and reflection.
The programme moves beyond the idea of art as mere visual appeal. Students learn to ask meaningful questions, research artists and art movements, experiment with diverse materials, and refine ideas with intent and purpose. Through this process, learners develop strong conceptual understanding alongside technical skill, allowing them to communicate ideas with confidence and clarity.
A defining highlight of the Visual Arts journey at CPS Global School is Kalakriti, the school’s annual art showcase. Kalakriti is not simply an exhibition of finished works; it is a celebration of process, perspective, and personal voice. Each displayed artwork represents months of research, experimentation, and critical reflection, offering viewers insight into the student’s evolving creative thinking.
Engagement with global and local artistic traditions, combined with structured reflection and independent practice, strengthens visual literacy and cultural awareness. More importantly, it fosters resilience, originality, and self-belief, qualities that extend well beyond the art studio.
The IBDP Visual Arts programme at CPS Global School, Thirumazhisai ultimately empowers students to become thoughtful creators and confident communicators, equipped to thrive in the arts and in any field that values innovation, empathy, and original thinking.
