A top-scoring Visual Arts Process Portfolio RQ must be focused, specific, and explicitly state your variables. Examiners look for precise scientific context rather than broad, vague topics.
Identify a clear angle for artistic learning, whether it be a conceptual idea, technical concern, or a specific artist's approach that you will investigate.
Incorporate specific visual arts terminology to anchor your statement in the field, avoiding generic terms like 'art' or 'creativity.'
Use process-oriented language that indicates investigation or development, such as 'exploration,' 'analysis,' or 'how/why' questions.
Narrow the scope of your statement by including details about a specific medium, theme, or artist to ensure a focused exploration.
Craft a guiding statement that is a single, clear phrase or question, ensuring it is grammatically coherent.
Formulating a statement that does not narrow down the scope, making it difficult to explore in depth within the portfolio.
Neglecting to include process-oriented terms, resulting in a statement that lacks a sense of inquiry or development.
Using generic terms that do not clearly relate to visual arts, which can lead to confusion about the topic.
Failing to specify an angle for artistic learning, leading to a lack of direction in the investigation and analysis.
Creating a guiding statement that is too broad or vague, failing to focus on a specific topic.

No. You can leave the keyword field blank for instant inspiration, or add a few words about your interests to get more targeted ideas.
Generated questions are starting points aligned with IB expectations. Similar research questions appear across cohorts—what matters is that your investigation or essay content is your own work.
The Research Question Evaluator was trained on thousands of research questions marked by IB-certified examiners. It evaluates your research question using the same IB criteria, helping you understand its strengths and areas for improvement.
Free users get a limited number of generations per week. Your limit resets weekly. Upgrade to Pro for higher limits and full access to Clastify AI tools.
Prompts about experimentation, technique development, and intention that your process evidence can answer over time.
