CAS International Baccalaureate Student Art 2006-2007

Sabrine Boudih was exploring the relationships between beauty and power. Near the end of her two years her work evolved to address how women are viewed by men and by other women in Western society compared to the religiously conservative society in which she lived. She also began to experiment with combining hidden images in large optical illusions.

Hassan Jettou's work evolved from exploring the relationship between cute and monstrous to that of conflicts in society. He explored: man vs. self, man vs. nature and man vs. society.

 Mona Boubekeur first began to explore images of women from different time periods and cultures. That idea matured into an exploration of how women have been viewed in different societies through time.

  

  

Jade Arrobas was interested in how society evolve, including the often negative results of advances in technology. Her large graphics piece was a commentary on the stresses brought about by the information society.

Tamana Nainani was curious about what people felt compared with how they acted. She was interested in how people could be out of touch with themselves and as a result be surprised by their own behavior. Her hope was that her work would be a challenge to those out of touch with their own identities.
