Students will be introduced to a variety of experiences exploring a range of photographic media, techniques and processes. They will be made aware of both traditional and new technologies. Students will explore relevant images, artefacts and resources relating to Photography and a wider range of art and design, from the past and from recent times, including European and nonEuropean examples. This is integral to the investigating and making process. Their responses to these examples must be shown through practical and critical activities which demonstrate the students’ understanding of different styles, genres and traditions. Students should be aware of the four assessment objectives to be demonstrated in the context of the content and skills presented and of the importance of process as well as product. Students should use sketchbooks/workbooks/journals to underpin their work where appropriate. There is no specific requirement for students to demonstrate drawing skills in this endorsement unless they wish to. Students may use traditional methods and/or digital techniques to produce images.
