Doha College preparations to celebrate Qatar National Day. Qatari artist Bouthayna Al Muftah's work was our inspiration this year:

“I want my work to remind others who we are, where we came from, and not to lose ourselves in the process of getting there.”

During an #inquiry on the Russian Constructivist movement, grade 9 art student Kent combined non-linear thinking, #STEAM thinking and form following function to create a kinetic constructivist sculpture entirely from cardboard. Watch to see the end result. #ownthefuture

#CISsecondary student Shiyun C was an absolute delight to the ears in both her DP music recital and leading role in this year's secondary musical "Once on this island". It looks like a musical career could be in her future! #ownthefuture

An international school brings together a culturally diverse population. Our counsellors ran a session to help parents understand the benefits & challenges a Third Culture Kid may face and how to help them embrace them. @CISSingapore @ownthefuture

Grade 12s sat their mock exams recently & are planning for post-graduation; our international environment exposes us to so many different cultures. The advantage? Being a Third Culture Kid or TCK makes you a better prospect for employers! @CISSingapore

These grade 8 artistic 'concept maps', designed for a visual literacy inquiry, show how pictures can be worth a thousand words and explain how the #IBMYP works. #ownthefuture

#AtCISToday. Inspiration is everywhere on campus - just ask these grade 10 students who are practising linear perspective.

Grade 8 students, emulating the work of the graffiti and installation artists Swoon and Luis Sahagan, were getting some formative practice for a much larger piece of summative work. #CISSingapore

Tasked with designing a face mask holder that is reusable, portable and yet economical, these grade 7s are exploring transdisciplinary concepts within the design cycle. Stay tuned for the unmasking of the final products! #IBMYP

Influenced by the works of Salvadore Dali and Christopher Duffy, Angelina M, grade 12, is exploring the idea of vanished memories in her topographical valley constructed with glued MDF panels and epoxy resin. #ownthefuture #IBDP

Environmental degradation is the theme of Sean F's most recent body of work. His artwork tells the story of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster and draws inspiration from Cai Guo Qiang's gunpowder artwork, JMW Turner's oil paintings, and David Maisel's photography. #IBDP
