 <\/p>\n

Now, all pupils please read the following below to get started on your new course.\u00a0 Information for Nat 5, Higher, Ad Higher and photography is provided.<\/p>\n

If you have picked National 5 or Higher Art and Design, please also have a look at the following presentation that outlines the requirements of both courses.<\/p>\n

If you have completed National 5 in S4 you will recognise the Higher course is remarkably similar. The main difference is the challenge required in the exam. You are required to have a deeper understanding of the artist and designer you learn about in class and have further developed your analytical skills.<\/p>\n

At Higher, both Design and Expressive folios are the same structure as at National 5 however, Higher Art and Design requires you to show further refinement in skills such as media handling, problem-solving, planning and self-evaluation.<\/p>\n

During this week, the Art and Design department will provide you with work to get started on your Design and Expressive folios.\u00a0 We will post all work on this website.\u00a0 This work should be completed before August.<\/p>\n

Many thanks and stay safe – Art and Design teachers.<\/p>\n

ADVANCED HIGHER ART & DESIGN 2020\/21<\/p>\n

For those of you taking Advanced Higher Art & Design, this week needs to be about decision-making. National 5 and Higher Art & Design required you to produce both an expressive AND a design folio. However, in Advanced Higher, you are required to choose to produce EITHER an expressive OR a design folio. Your work will all be on larger boards for Advanced Higher (A1 size) and you are required to produce between 8 and 16 of these A1 boards.<\/p>\n

Over the next few weeks, we will look more closely at the course structure and how to begin your folio. This week, first of all, you must decide if you want to do expressive or design. For most of you, this will be an easy decision to make as chances are, you\u2019ve always preferred and been stronger in one area.<\/p>\n

After this decision is made, you need to start thinking about a theme or stimulus. Choose something that you are interested in and enjoy working on, something that has \u2018mileage\u2019 in it to allow you to generate plenty work. Some of the themes from this year\u2019s candidates were, the body: inside out, gender stereotypes, emotions and moods, lilies, food: natural v synthetic, vegetables: close up\/inside.<\/p>\n

When you have decided on your theme\/stimulus, you can begin to research it. This can be done online. You can save relevant and interesting images, use Pinterest, make a PowerPoint or produce a Word document. Do what works for you. You are basically gathering images on your theme for your first board to set the scene \u2013 a mood board. These images can be photographs, artwork, market research (design) etc.<\/p>\n

Next week, I will provide more details and give further research tasks.<\/p>\n

For now \u2013 two decisions, keep it simple J<\/p>\n

Below are links to view Advanced Higher work, to inspire you and give you some ideas of themes.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
First of all, pupils who have selected Higher Photography as a course option – please join the Higher Photography 2020 Team using the code\u00a0n0j4bk9<\/b><\/div>\n

\n<\/b><\/div>\n
Your first assignment has been added and should be completed for Wednesday 13th May.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Looking forward to seeing my new class over in Teams!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Also, if you have picked Higher Photography, please have a look at the following presentation that outlines the requirements of the course. I have also included an example of \u201cUnit Work\u201d to show you the type of work you will go on to do throughout the year.<\/p>\n

To give you an idea of the work involved in the course \u2013 the \u201cUnit Work\u201d features two photography shoots \u2013 the Final Project usually requires you to carry out 10-12 individual photography shoots which you have planned to fit into your personal project.<\/p>\n

The Higher Photography course is a demanding and rewarding course that builds up many transferable skills such as – analysing, planning, working independently, self-evaluation, and refinement.<\/p>\n

As this course is a \u201ccrash Higher\u201d you will need to build a base of knowledge and skills at the beginning of the course before embarking on the more independent parts of the course. I will be setting weekly tasks you can complete at home which will help to build these skills.<\/p>\n

Thanks,\u00a0 Miss Johnstone.<\/p>\n

S1- S3 Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) Art and Design Course<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pupils in S1 – S3 follow a follow a Broad General Education in line with the principles of Curriculum for Excellence.\u00a0 S1 and S2 pupils receive 2 periods of Art and Design per week, S3 pupils (who have chosen to specialise in this subject as part of their Broad General Education specialisation choice process) 3 periods.\u00a0 During the course of the CfE Art and Design course, pupils undertake work based around either ‘Expressive’ Units or ‘Design Units’.\u00a0 ‘Expressive’ Art and Design work is about pupils being able to communicate their own personal ideas in a visual way.\u00a0 In the\u00a0Broad General Education course there are various Units which allow pupils the opportunity to develop their own artistic personal preferences and style through the following creative process:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Select a theme\/stimulus<\/li>\n
  2. Investigation and Research<\/li>\n
  3. Development<\/li>\n
  4. Final Outcome<\/li>\n
  5. Evaluation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here are some examples of our Expressive Units<\/strong> in the Broad General Education course:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Still Life Painting<\/li>\n
    2. Tonal Half Portrait<\/li>\n
    3. Landscape Painting<\/li>\n
    4. Portraiture<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      ‘Design’ Units involve solving a problem, planning how something will look and function and how it will be made. Pupils produce work in response to a design brief they have discussed with their teacher.\u00a0 Design work invloves the following design process:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Design Brief<\/li>\n
      2. Investigation and Research<\/li>\n
      3. Development<\/li>\n
      4. Design Solution<\/li>\n
      5. Evaluation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The design process is essentially a problem-solving activity, which pupils complete step by step.\u00a0 Here are some examples of Design Units<\/strong> in the Broad General Education course:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Halloween Paper Craft<\/li>\n
        2. Sealife Centre Bag Design<\/li>\n
        3. Energy Bar Packaging Design<\/li>\n
        4. 3D Neckpiece Design<\/li>\n
        5. DVD Cover for Animated Film Design<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          In addition to Art and Design work, photograpghy <\/strong>is now part of the our Braod General Education curriculum and this subject is delivered by Art and Design teaching staff.\u00a0 Pupils will receive tuition in the use of professional photography equipment, using a range of technical and creative approaches to produce images.<\/p>\n

          In all our our Art and Design course from S1 through to S3 , pupils follow skills based courses, developing confidence in Expressive and Design.\u00a0 All Units covered are focussed on the development of skills and confidence whilst allowing learners to build on prior learning and apply learning in new and unfamiliar contexts.\u00a0 In addition, pupils are given regular homework tasks to consolidate and develop the learning completed in class.<\/p>\n

          The Units also provide extensive opportunities for pupils to develop their numeracy and literacy skills, as well as incorporating aspects of other school subjects leading to inter-disciplinary learning, to encourage them to understand the wider context of their learning and link relevant aspects to cross-curricular areas.<\/p>\n

          Senior Phase<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Pupils in S4 receive 4 periods of Art and Design per week and, depending on their progress during the course of the year will undertake either National 4 or National 5 Art and Design courses.\u00a0 National 4\/5 Art and Design courses deliver three elements: Design, Expressive and associated Critical Activity. National 4 is internally assessed with pupils completing two units (Expressive and Design) and an added value unit which forms the final solution for both. \u00a0National 5 pupils also complete two units\u00a0(Expressive and Design), but this course is externally assessed by a portfolio sent to SQA and includes a written exam. \u00a0 In S5\/S6 pupils then progress to Higher Art and Design with 6 periods per week being taught, with pupils also having the opportunity to study Advanced Higher Art and Design in S6.\u00a0 Higher Photography is also offered to pupils in S5\/S6.<\/p>\n

          National 4 Art and Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

          The Art and Design National 4 consists of three units:<\/p>\n

          Art and Design: Expressive Activity Unit – <\/strong>This unit is a combination of practical and integrated Art and Design Studies critical work. This is a practical unit, developing skills in the Expressive element of the course.\u00a0Pupils work through 3 stages (Research, Development & Final Outcome), exploring drawing techniques, a variety of media, composition and a study of the visual elements.\u00a0Pupils are also expected to study the work of artists in their practical units.<\/p>\n

          Art and Design: Design Activity Unit – <\/strong>This unit is a combination of practical and integrated Art and Design Studies critical work. This is a practical unit. Pupils this session are studying either Textile or Product Design, in the field of 3D Design.\u00a0 As with the Expressive element, there are 3 stages to the Design process (Research, Development & Final Solution). Pupils are also expected to study the work of designers in their practical units.<\/p>\n

          Added Value Unit: Practical Activity – <\/strong>To achieve Art and Design National 4, learners must pass both units, and the Added Value Unit. The Added Value Unit draws upon the skills, knowledge and understanding learners have developed throughout the course to complete a final solution for both the Expressive and Design Units.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          National 5 Art and Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

          In order to pass this subject at National 5, pupils must internally pass the following individual units.<\/strong><\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          S6 Advanced Higher Art and Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Advanced Higher in Art & Design offers a natural progression from Higher. The AH course consists of a combination of two units – a mandatory \u2018major\u2019 unit of 80 hours study (2 credits) from Design, Expressive or Art & Design Studies and an optional \u2018minor\u2019 unit of 40 hours (1 credit). Both units must be on a related theme or area of study to suit the student\u2019s personal skills and interests. This course requires a minimum of 6 periods of study weekly, plus work in students\u2019 own time on sketchbooks, research and folio work. There are no formal exams for Advanced Higher; assessment is based on class work folios and research.<\/p>\n
