The work in this gallery represents Grade 5 students' artistic journey and aesthetic education development in the PYP.
Grade 5 students have creatively demonstrated knowledge, understanding, and art exploration in their paintings. They have used the elements of art including line, shape, space, value, form, texture, and color in their work.
Each student took action using visual communication by integrating their PYPX Exhibition topic into their symbolic self-portraits to demonstrate who they are and what they have learned. They have used symbols to express concepts, beliefs and ideas adding depth and meaning to their art.
They have skillfully created these beautiful portraits through the course of many months.
Please enjoy these paintings and appreciate the Grade 5 vision for a better world.

The 2023 PYP Exhibition at Concordian was an extraordinary triumph that left an indelible mark on all fortunate enough to witness it. This highly anticipated event, which culminated a year of arduous work, exemplified the true essence of the International Baccalaureate's Primary Years Programme.
Students embarked on an exhilarating journey, selecting a UN Sustainable Development Goal that ignited their passions. With unwavering enthusiasm, they meticulously researched their chosen topic, collaborating with like-minded peers to consolidate their knowledge and devise meaningful action for creating change. Supported by the school community, including teachers, parents, mentors, and guest speakers, our Grade 5 students took charge of their own learning, demonstrating their trilingual abilities and showcasing their skills in art, music, physical education, and ICT.
The culmination of their efforts was a series of dynamic and engaging TED Talk-style presentations that captivated the audience, leaving a lasting impression of their immense accomplishments. The 2023 PYP Exhibition was more than an academic showcase; it was a testament to the power of education, collaboration, and the steadfast determination of young minds set on making a positive impact in the world.
