"IB Visual Arts Course Book is a well written comprehensive text that gives the reader clarity on IB DP Visual Arts assessments. It has a range of relevant examples that can help the teachers in giving their students a fruitful learning experience. The structure of the book is easy for the students to follow. The book has engaging TOK links and discusses a multiplicity of different perspectives which makes it an interesting read not only for the IB community but also for any art lover. This book is a great course companion and is surely a one stop book for one and all." - Meenakshi Joshi, MYP Coordinator and HoD Visual Arts, The Aga Khan Academy, Hyderabad
