Flair exhibition

Flair celebrates the diversity and variety of pieces produced by learners across different levels and grades during the challenging circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Most of the pieces on display were produced by National 4 to Advanced Higher learners. Each piece is accompanied by a statement from the learner, which explains their approach and where they drew inspiration from.

“I would like to say a huge thank you to all the learners who have kindly agreed to have their artwork, produced in 2021-22, displayed in our online gallery to support the achievement of SQA qualifications in Art and Design, Fashion and Textile Technology, and Photography. The skill, originality and creative expression of learners across Scotland is very evident and it is a pleasure to see.".

Fiona Robertson, Fiona Robertson, SQA Chief Executive

“This online gallery is a wonderful reflection of the wealth of talent that is being nurtured and developed in Scottish schools - the creativity evidenced by our young people is seriously impressive".

Jenny Gilruth, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills
