Art and Design

National Qualifications in Art and Design provide learners with a broad, practical experience of art and design practice and related critical activities.

Learners develop practical skills as they explore how to visually represent and communicate their thoughts and ideas through their work, and study the works of artists and designers.

Please Note: Some materials are only available on the Qualifications Scotland Secure Site. You can access these materials through your Qualifications Scotland coordinator.
