Unit Award Scheme
Art and Design
Here you will find the Unit Award Scheme (UAS) units that we have mapped to our GCSE Art and Design specification.
The GCSE Art and Design content has been split into bite-sized units making it more accessible to learners.
Students will receive a certificate each time they complete a unit. By recognising achievements in this way, the scheme allows students to engage with learning and take clear steps towards success.
Knowledge, understanding and skills
To help students demonstrate knowledge, understanding and skills, they should be introduced to a variety of learning experiences that develop skills through the use of appropriate media, processes, techniques and technologies relevant to art, craft and design, fine art, graphic communication, three-dimensional design, textiles and/or photography.
