Our Higher Art and Design courses offer students the opportunity to develop Expressive and Design folios. Students are encouraged to explore new materials and techniques and undertake a number of planned visits to events and workshops outwith the classroom setting to develop specialist skills and see how Art and Design fits in to the world around us.
A course calendar for the Expressive folio and assessment date calendar can be viewed on the link below. This will enable students to ensure deadlines can be met and keep parents informed of the learning taking place in class.
