Course InformationThroughout third and fourth

year, Standard Grade Art focuses on three main areas of

study, Expressive Activity, Design Activity and Critical

Activity. Pupils can express

their own ideas and feelings in

expressive activity, whilst working with a variety of different mediums such as,

fabric craft, drawing and painting. Expressive activity is

assessed by the SQA during a

five hour exam whilst Design

activity is assessed by the class teacher. Critical activity

encourages pupils to develop

their own ideas and opinions

on their own work and that of

other artists. This is done in

the form of a written essay and

is submitted to the SQA for

examination. After Standard

Grade, pupils can progress to

Higher level in S5 if they have

gained a grade 1 or 2.
