National 5 Art and Design
Looking ahead to National 4 and 5
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.
A level of commitment is expected at certificate level. Pupils who have passed National 4 in S4 will normally prepare for presentation at National 5 level in S5, though it is important to note that pupils who have struggled to meet deadlines or complete tasks in class or as homework must urgently discuss their suitability for taking Art & Design on into S5 with their teacher.
