Give Your IB Art Portfolio the Depth It Deserves

The IB Visual Arts course requires more than technical skill. Examiners look for evidence of thoughtful research, critical thinking, and the sustained development of an idea into a finished body of work. 

At Herbz en Hues, we have spent over 20 years guiding students through this process, helping their Process Portfolio and Exhibition communicate something genuine and well-considered.

Our IB Art classes in Vietnam are conducted in person from our studio in Ho Chi Minh City, with online sessions available to students across Vietnam and beyond.

Whether you are pursuing the IB Diploma (HL or SL), IGCSE, or A Levels, and whether you are aiming for a strong art or design school or considering a future in fashion or architecture, we are here to support you. We help develop both your technique and your ideas, so that you feel well prepared by the time your Exhibition arrives.

Because the Process Is Part of the Art

Who This Is For

Students navigating two years of sustained investigation, a Comparative Study, and an Exhibition will find the support they need through our IB Art Classes in Vietnam.

Herbz en Hues works with:

  • IB Diploma students (HL & SL) progressing through their Comparative Study, Process Portfolio, and Exhibition
  • Students who have already committed to pursuing art
  • Beginners just starting, as well as advanced learners refining their practice
  • International school students in Vietnam, as well as local Vietnamese students

Our teaching philosophy is straightforward: every session is connected to the IB Visual Arts assessment criteria, ensuring that exploration always leads to meaningful progress.
