KLSmash Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Oh?Well, Im about to forge a deal with our really kind arts/music teacher, that he will sign my CAS thingamidgy as long as I show the results (drawings) and the time it took for me to draw them (reasonable ofc). Because really, I dont want to go to art classes PLUS the time I spend on my own on drawing I wonder if this trick works in all IB schools...It just depends on the IB coordinator at your school. 'Cause for us - I doubt we'd be allowed to do that - since we're supposed to be supervised when we're participating in the activity. My piano, harmony and guitar lessons count and my teachers can just sign at the end of the month how many times I went to the lesson. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cereja Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Write a poem. Take pictures. Critique a movie. Learn how to play an instrument, or a specific song you always wanted to learn Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cami Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Write a poem. Take pictures. Critique a movie. Learn how to play an instrument, or a specific song you always wanted to learnTHAT is something i find very fun.So i can get C from walking around and taking pictures, or do i need to attend some kind of course about Photography?

cereja Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 The latter is preferred. But if you can do a great reflection on how walking around you found this great tree that inspired you and made you wonder about life and all, then that counts. *I did a portfolio with my favorite pictures, including different angles, lighting, etc. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcantstopthebeat Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Join a class/course, e.g. art, dancing (some of my friends did salsa dancing), martial arts (i think other action activities can count as creativity)If your school has cocurricular creative activities they can give you heaps of hours Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
starry-night Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 join teams/clubs you are interested in at your school. You can easily get hours this way Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djshah Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I get my creativity hours by being part of the school magazine. You could also start a chess club which counts for creativity. Or any activity where you "create" something. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cami Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Is writing Creativity? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uummmdonuts1 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 i would think so seeing as that person used the school newspaper... might have to join some sort of writing thing and doit that way? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cereja Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 You can write, as long as it's not random. There has to be some goal or meaning to you Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uummmdonuts1 Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 At our school they ahve a school for young children attached, and we can help there. Would it count for creativity or service if we helped with art or music? erm... you could take up an instrument? dance class maybe? something completely cool like fifties dancing writing... you could write article for something? Or short stories for the same kind of reason?I've heard yoga also counts as creativity? dont know how or why...id say instrument would probably be easiest... they dont say you have to be good also, if you can already play something join a school band or choir or something? yeh i know really kl actually some pretty cool people go to our chapel choir, im just stereotyping.

Would it count for creativity or service if we helped with art or music?My IBC would count it as either one...I don't know how strict yours is. I'd categorize it under whichever section I need more hours in. MUN and musical instruments are the two most common activities for creativity in my school.

Vvi Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 For creativity, people in our class did these:-Drama productions -Painting the senior lounge-Going on a summer language course, I did one in Paris this summer and got 80 hours-MUN-Taking instrument lessons-DanceMost of the people in my class took language classes after school, I had Hebrew classes. Which really helps my uni application, coz I'm applying for language courses.You could offer to paint a mural on the elementary school wall, or to organize/give a high school musical concert.

TeeBlake Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Same as the topictitle.Do you have any tips for Creativity on what to do?I finished my creativity by co-teaching Second Language and swimming classes. since this involves me actually planning out lessons and activities, at the same time, offering my time and getting physical activities done (the swimming one)...I got all three areasif your school has school teams...coaching will get you creativity and action, participating on the team will get you action.debating can get you creativity as well...that's all I can think of now, I'll add on if I can get more..

Bee =3 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 personally, i think the best way is to get involved in a drama production.. not only is it creative by definition but it sure completes the hours! it looks good on a transcriptit shows you can work in groups, which is a greater asset than doing something by yourselfif you take on the role in producing or directing the play, it's evidence of your leadership.. etc etcfurthermore, you get to know different aspects of people and helps you out socially! haha other major scale ideas that we did at our school are painting a mural in the school, organising art projects for kids in a nearby orphanage...otherwise, i think learning a language or somehting like that also gives u credit as creativity..i reckon C is the easiest of the three to fulfill.. good luck!

FahaD Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 in our school they let us organize open days, we'd plan the catering, invitations, preps etc. that's like 10 hrs o C we have those days 3~5 times a year, you should suggest this to your CAS coordinator im sure he/she would approve of this, why wouldn't he? we did it Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdc17 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 for instruments do only lessons count or can you also include practice time? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
