Visual Art theme - should I wait?

[Carsellular]

Hi, first post for me I start IB next year and was wondering if I should start the year with my theme chosen, or wait till later after I've done a few works to decide... What has everyone else done?? Any and all advice is appreciated

The way it worked at my school was that the teacher gave us project themes fr a while, to get our creative minds thinking, and slowly as we worked, most of us found a reoccurring theme or pattern. Honestly, I would wait, play around with IB Art for a bit, see what you like the best. I made the mistake in choosing to soon because I was so anxious that I ended up changing my theme 3 times. Also, you aren't in IB yet, so you may pick up ideas from other students around you. Definitely, in my opinion, do not start IB with a theme already in mind, unless you have been doing art on the theme for a long period of time and know for sure it is what you want. You have time!

Hi, well, as my experiencie, the first 6 months of IB Art HL, I started doing a lot of different ideas and styles, till I

atart feeling comfortable with my art and, well, just there I realized what I love about Art.

My advice for you is to experiment a lot, too try every style where you feel good doing it and you want to develop it

but, it'snot something that willl come out from a day to another, it will take some time

Best Of luck
