Premier International IB Continuum School, Nepal’s first and only IB Continuum School, recently brought creativity to center stage with “Expressions,” a spectacular visual art exhibition that celebrated the imagination and talent of young artists.
Over 430 artworks filled the gallery, crafted by students from the Primary Years Programme (PYP) through Middle Years Programme (MYP). From early years to Grade 9, students showcased their artistic journeys using diverse media—poster colors, watercolors, oil pastels, pencil shading, and even acrylics on canvas. Each piece was more than art; it was an extension of classroom learning, translating ideas and concepts into vibrant visual stories.
A Celebration of Creativity and Community
The event, themed Where Imagination Meets Inspiration, wasn’t just about art on display—it was about community. Parents, teachers, and peers gathered to admire the students’ work, their support creating an atmosphere of warmth and celebration.
The exhibition was further elevated by the presence of Chief Guest Mr. Sujan Chitrakar, a respected visual artist, educator, and academic coordinator at Kathmandu University’s School of Art. His words of encouragement left the young artists inspired and proud of their achievements.
Art Meets the IB Spirit
Aligned with the International Baccalaureate philosophy, “Expressions” underscored the power of art in nurturing creativity, cultural appreciation, and interdisciplinary learning. Art education within the IB framework goes beyond aesthetics—it teaches students to observe deeply, think critically, and express boldly, building confidence and problem-solving skills along the way.
One of the highlights of the exhibition was the large-scale wall art created by MYP 4 students, a stunning piece that celebrated Nepal’s rich cultural heritage through a creative blend of tradition and modern design.
A Lasting Impression
“Expressions” was a true testament to the dedication of students and teachers, offering a platform where imagination could flourish and inspiration could be shared. For parents and visitors, it was a reminder of the transformative role of art in education. As Nepal’s premier IB Continuum School, Premier remains committed to nurturing creativity, inquiry, and global citizenship through its continuum of programs—PYP, MYP, IBDP, and NEB +2—empowering students to thrive academically and artistically in a globalized world.
