The Art & Design Higher course structure has three parts:

Part I – Expressive Activity with Art Studies

Pupils will study the work of topical artists then express their own personal feelings and reactions to stimuli.

 

Part II – Design Activity with Design Studies

Pupils will study the work of relevant designers then deal with realistic problem solving.

Both folios should recognise the candidates personal interests and experiences.

 

Part III – Course Assessment

Both folios are sent to SQA for marking.

The Art and Design Studies forms the basis of a written paper.

Art & Design Advanced Higher Portfolio Preparation

It is recommended that pupils interested in applying for an art course, take Advanced Higher.  It involves an in depth study into an area of personal interest in either Expressive or Design.  It takes the form of a folio, of work which can also be used to form a portfolio for college entry.  Students undertaking this study must be self motivated and independent and it requires a high level of commitment and dedication.  It is timetabled alongside the Higher class but students will have a separate tutorial period and be expected to attend extra periods.
