I’ll be creating a gallery specifically for this to showcase the range of skills and interests of our students. If you have something you would like featured, email Miss Beattie at rachel.beattie@eastayrshire.org.uk.

It’s been fantastic to see the amount of pupils continuing to be creative at home, especially with all the lovely weather we’ve been having! Our students have been submitting some exceptional work including their own ideas, showing real passion and commitment to the subject. You can view some examples below and remember to check out each of our Pupil Work Galleries for more amazing art!

Following the First Minister’s announcement about school closures at the end of the week, the Art & Design department wishes to assure all pupils, parents and carers that the utmost support will be given at this challenging time to minimise the impact on learning as far as possible.
In the coming days all year groups will be provided with online course materials, resources and tasks which can be accessed via Show My Homework and will also be made available on this page. Please check back regularly for updates.
For the senior phase, the focus for the remainder of the week will be to complete any outstanding work for the practical portfolios. As of next week, classes will be issued with set tasks, critical studies notes and practice questions via SMH to revise and prepare for the written exam. Please also use the links provided on the bottom right of this page to assist with revision.
If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact myself or your teacher via email.
Please take care and look after yourselves and your loved ones.
