AICE Art & Design is a self-motivated, creative, artistic discovery course. Students will embark on an intensive, artistic process and improve and invent their own artwork. Students learn about visual perception and aesthetic experience and the ways in which art and design creates a language of its own. Most of the work for this course is studio-based so that students can develop their abilities of observation and analysis of the visual world, sensitivity, skill, personal expression, and imagination. Outside reading, thinking, and observing will be necessary. Students also learn how to relate their skills to an enhanced knowledge of their own cultures, past and present; as well as develop an appreciation of practical design problems. Students must document the various stages of their idea evolution and production methods.​

​Environmental management is concerned with both local and global issues and with the various ways in which societies, governments and economic activity (industry, agriculture and urban areas) use, misuse and attempt to manage both local and global environments. Whilst environmental management can often be presented in a negative light by emphasizing pollution, exploitation and misuse, it is important to give recognition to the positive ways in which we manage our environment. Thus issues such as global warming, industrial pollution and the impact of rapid population growth need to be balanced with others like the creation of National Parks, sensitive urban design and sustainable management/development. The syllabus reflects a contemporary concern with sustainable management. Through their study of environmental management, it is hoped that candidates will learn to appreciate that the exploitation of the environment.​
