Remote Learning for S2 in the Art & Design Department was to learn a little about ‘Cubism’ and look at the work of Pablo Picasso. Pupils took inspiration from the Cubist movement and created their own Cubist Self Portrait.
Return To School & Expressive Folio Deadline
RETURN TO SCHOOL: MONDAY 15th MARCH 2021
If pupils are able to return to school next week, pupils are advised to bring their Expressive Folio (on the day they are timetabled to be in the department) as this is what they’ll be working on in the department. Bring all the materials used to develop their folio: materials and resource images.
Pupils are advised to be extremely careful with transporting their SQA work to school – avoid folding or damaging the quality work which has been produced.
EXPRESSIVE FOLIO DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY 31 MARCH 2021
S4 N4/N5 and S5 N5/Higher
Pupils will continue to complete work until Wednesday 31 March 2021, either at home or in the Art & Design department. Verbal feedback and support will be given to students in the Art & Design department, as online support through Teams continues for certain pupils working from home.
Pupils must ensure they are completing their folio to their highest standard.
To meet the minimum requirements, a candidate must produce the follow:
- 2 Single Object Drawings (At least 1 in the same media of what their final piece will be).
- 2 Compositions (At least 1 in the same media of what their final piece will be).
- 1 Single Composition Outcome (This can be as small as A4 in size).
Candidates can produce more work than this but we suggest that they meet all of the minimum requirements first. If candidates have additional time, they can go back and create more artwork.
Until the deadline, it’s essential that pupils submit progress images to assignments on Teams on a weekly basis.
Advanced Higher
Weekly plans, advice and individual feedback will be provided to students.
Higher Photography
Weekly work will continue to be posted on Teams to support students continuing with their Final Project Folios.
